Kept under control by local knights along with the resident Lord and Lady, the city has next to no crime in its limits.

The animal conservatory just outside of the city walls in the back fields from the ruling manor draws attention when visiting. Lady Vael'sha houses many of her exotic companions from Kalimdor along with the families mounts in the woods.

A popular drinking spot is the *Champion's Hall*, a bar named after the county's success in various tournaments of skill. Mimics of the banners inside Stormwind Keep for both Lord Samuel and Sir Arnulf hang from the rafters of the bar. The inside is as much a sparring gym as it is a bar.
