Beaconsfield

Beaconsfield is a town in Coltar freehold. The town is located on the main road from Pem to Hansea and serves as a central railway interchange between the Coltar, Wasmeinau, and Archpolonia. The settlement was once the city of Bayor's Bridge, which was destroyed in the First Tall Kingdom War; numerous ruins from the city are dotted around the town, most notably the ruins of the cathedral. To the east of the town, across the river, lie further ruins and The Watcher, an enigmatic stone sculpture that serves as a pilgrimage site to the Sect of Amata-Ultec.
Following the destruction of Bayor's Bridge, the ruins were abandoned for nearly a century due to border disputes and skirmishes. The Wander-In inn was constructed on the site soon after Pem's victory in the Second Tall Kingdom War, to serve traders and the army travelling between Pem and the occupied territories in Hansea. This kickstarted regional development and rebuilding.
