| - | ====Geography==== | + | =====Geography===== |
| Brightshore is situated in a temperate, forested region that experiences four distinct seasons each year. To the north, east, and south are dense woods and marshes. To the west are hills and grasslands. Rumors abound of encounters with monsters, natives, and ruined civilizations, but so far the area has yet to be thoroughly explored. Few who venture into the wilderness return, and so far the colonists have been largely focused on sustaining and expanding their town. | Brightshore is situated in a temperate, forested region that experiences four distinct seasons each year.

| - | ==== Demographics ==== | + | ===== Demographics ===== |
| The founders of Brightshore were a motley crew of all shapes, sizes, and origins. Their numbers included adventurers, scholars, mercenaries, and refugees from [[brightshore:foreign_lands:vessar|Vessar]], as well as other countries. The Council has committed to continuing that trend and welcoming all types of people. Uncommon or monstrous races might still face an occasional bit of distrust or curiosity from individual colonists, but they won't be turned away at the door. | The founders of Brightshore were a motley crew of all shapes, sizes, and origins.

| In particular, Brightshore has attracted people who are looking for trouble or adventure, and people who are skilled in other things than simply wielding a weapon. As a growing colony, it is in constant need of stonemasons, carpenters, weavers, farmers, animal herders, blacksmiths, merchants, traders, and various other skilled workers. | In particular, Brightshore has attracted people who are looking for trouble or adventure, and people who are skilled in other things than simply wielding a weapon.
