The lively town of **Carrington**, is nestled in the beautiful Redridge Mountains. Established in 596 K.Y. it initially served as a humble lumbering camp for the County of Halston Falls, then known as the Barony of Roselake. However, with the passage of time, it has evolved into a bustling town under the benevolent rule of House Baudelaire. Due to it's location just south of the shores of the Nazferiti River, Carrington enjoys a wealth of trade, especically in that of the famed redwood of the mountainous region.

The majestic giants tower over the landscape, surrounding the town with their awe-inspiring presence lending it a sense of whimsy and peace as it provides a tranquil atmosphere against the chaos that often strains the world as a whole.

The town had always thrived on immigrants and migrating workers to keep its lumbering empire going strong. Today, it is home to a population of three hundred and fifty two souls who live out their prosperous and industrious lives thanks to the lumber mills, fisheries and farms.
