DOMINION CAMPAIGN

Vartinn is a charming yet deeply divided town nestled in the rolling plainlands along the tranquil Nespar River, bordered by the enigmatic Chillen Woods. On the surface, it is a picturesque and inviting settlement, its cobblestone streets alive with the sounds of craftsmen, merchants, and travelers drawn to its famed goods and warm hospitality. Beneath the surface, however, the town is locked in a quiet but tense conflict between tradition and religious fervour.

The townsfolk have forged an unusual alliance with the mischievous imps of the Chillen Woods, who assist in crafting enchanted shoes and goods of exceptional quality in the town's many workshops. These products, known for their durability and charm, are highly sought after throughout the realm, bringing wealth and prestige to the town. However, this partnership is viewed with scorn and religious hatred by the Monastery of Holy Righteousness, whose devout monks and nuns believe the imps to be agents of darkness.

The monastery’s exorcists and skulking agents patrol the town, rooting out and purging the influence of the imps wherever they can. Their presence casts a shadow over the bustling markets and cheerful hostelries, where townsfolk and visitors alike enjoy the finest food, often accompanied by delicacies brought in by expert Falconers. The sight of majestic hunting birds soaring above the Nespar River is one of Vartinn’s great pleasures.

Beyond the tension, Vartinn retains a warm and welcoming atmosphere for outsiders. Its pleasant sheepdogs roam the streets (often as mounts to bold imps), beloved companions that lend the town a sense of peace and community. Travelers often find themselves charmed by the town's mix of rustic hospitality and the air of magic that lingers in its expertly crafted wares.

Vartinn is a town of contrasts - where mischief meets faith, fey meets religion, and the line between light and dark is as hazy as the mist rising from the Chillen Woods at dusk.
