Mudpost

Mudpost is a town in Faerun that served as the home of the Player Characters in the 15th century DR. It was founded by Happimist Mudimpost, initially the site of nothing but his home. Eventually, however, more and more people settled nearby over time, and it grew to be a town.

Description
In the late 15th century DR, Mudpost was a particularly unique town of retired adventurers, gifted mages, physicians and alchemists, and a large number of those who followed Mystra. It hosted a variety of houses in many differing styles, and each household made use of differing levels of technology. Some in the town lived as if medieval freemen, whilst other lived as typical high-fantasy adventurers. The town grew to host just over fifty different families, not including the active adventuring community who have made it their home over the last year. The town's main attractions were the mansion of its Mayor, Happimist Mudimpost, the local tavern, The Muddy Post, and the various shops selling magical items, armour and weapons.

Geography
Due to the strange nature of the town, Mudpost was located somewhere in the south of the Sword Coast. However, it's location was not entirely static, and one could find the town just a few days travel from Neverwinter or Cormyr just as easily as the other, depending on the day. Strangely, the location of the town appears to favour its residents - if someone leaves to visit family, it is never a long journey, and the return trip is even shorter.

Government
The town has always been run by it's Mayor, Happimist Mudimpost. However, he has a great deal of respect (and fear) for the innkeeper, Nina Thornhide, and if she ever took issue with any law he passed, he would overturn it himself within the day. Nina also holds a greater sway over the average resident, as adventurers are not often capable cooks, and she feeds most of the townsfolk herself - with the assistance of her employees, Groz and Rythe, of course.

Trade
There doesn't seem to be much of any trade out of Mudpost - the town has famously been described by the local lord, Lord Rosendall, as "financially doomed, on paper." However, the adventuring community finds no shortage of coin, and uses it to stimulate the local economy. There is a blacksmith, magic item shop, alchemist, tavern, and a variety of traders that come into the town to provide necessities like meat and cloth and the like.

History
The town was Founded by Happimist Mudimpost in the 13th Century DR, though most of it's history has been lost either to time, or to the addled brain of the town's mayor. In its recent history, however, it has been victim to an attack from the necromantic forces of the vampire lord, King Mythanor of the Elderwood, as well as plagued by a cult seemingly devoted to oozes and slimes.
