Peacrest

Peacrest is the biggest town of Emerald Hills and centre of governance over the smaller villages of the area. Location between two great lakes (bigger to the west - Sapphire Lake, and smaller to the east - Topaz Lake), with fertile lands and expansive forests, helped to quickly establish a thriving hamlet and supports its continuous growth.

As a major stop on the merchant tract between Ilunet and Niebko it boasts a market of variegated goods and a healthy information hub for local and provincial gossip.
