City of Briarwood

The city of Briarwood was built in a large glade of a mighty forest and is truly a gorgeous display of wonder. The materials this forest has given to the city were of great importance, but they were also influential when it came to architectural designs. Many new cultures have left their mark not just on education, but also upon the city's identity. It's this multicultural identity that has lead to the plethora of of choices of things to do, whether its dancing in the inn, libraries or just getting some fresh baked good from the briarwood merchants.

There is a teleportation center right in town for easy travel, or you can lead out to one of the travel channels to find a new city!

Current Mayor: Mayor Rohan.

## Briarwood

### Road to Briarwood

The road into the Briarwood can be dangerous, especially for new travelers such as yourself. The road in is nothing more than a dirt road surrounded by thick evergreen trees. It's best to move fast to City of Briarwood!
