Waypoint

List of townsfolk.

## Some general statistics on Waypoint

Waypoint is a small rural town, set in **1495 DR in the Forgotten Realms**. Waypoint is on the edge of civilisation, run by the mayor and a small group of guards. Technically it is part of the kingdom of Slocester, ruled by King Balas but it is so isolated and remote that taxes are not collected. So yes, a feudal absolute monarchy, basically a serfdom. Waypoint is a frontier wild west town besieged by adventurers.
The town population is approximately 1200 with majority human and other common races, some extended families of exotic races are also present.

Primary industry export: Farming, specifically various orchard fruits (Apricots and Apples being some of the notable ones). Other farms there mainly support the town (animals, grains, etc). There is also a select vineyard that brings in a lot of income (but the Mayor owns it).

### Waypoints founding

The Waypoint project - established in the year 1337 of our lord saviour Mayor. A small burgeoning frontier town that eakes its existence out by providing a much needed "amusement" part for those with an unassailable wanderlust or marked psychopathic streaks.

## Government & Factions

The **mayor**, an aloof and recluse fellow. He runs the town though you will only see him giving town announcements. His family have been here since the town's founding in 1337.

The **town guard**, a small regiment of trained peasants and ex-military personnel trying to keep the peace. It is run by the commander Jean Jeanson and his three captains. The captain of the police branch is Iris Bendeen, with most of the guards serving under him. Janos is the captain of the judicial branch and Forrest is captain of the administrative branch.

The **dragon knights** that sometimes pop up. Basically a military regiment, technically they own land but tend to work for a lord.

You may see **The Order** popping up here and there. It is simply a collection of players that all live in the same house.

Waypoint is blessed with **two churches**.

* The Temple; up the hill, open to all those of different faiths. Alcoves and different prayrooms for gods are provided. Nasrhym Dir'Vendan and the pokepriest some adventures found are more than happy to help you.

The area is primarily inhabited by deer, wild boars and further north into the mountains Elk (<6h travel north). The majority of the flora are based on old growth forests of primarily pine, oak and cedar, which form the majority of the local logging industry.
