Piedmont
Town
The pass town of Piedmont is a well known travel stop, and pilgrimage site, located in the center of Tomarev, between the Twin-Lakes Region.
Over 150 years ago, following a bloody human civil war between the kingdoms of the west and the east, a great neutrally located graveyard was constructed in Piedmont, as a gesture of respect for families of all those who suffered loss as a result of the war.
Now, the small mournful town is home to less than 20 families, who operate as a closely knit community under the guidance of the local priest, Father Thomas.
Piedmont is located at the western mouth of a pass-road that allows passage west to east between the dense forested mountains of the Twin-Lakes Region. The town is built neatly situated to the north and south of the road, and just beyond is evergreen forests which lead quickly into steep hills, and then mountains. During the Summer and Winter seasons, the town receives less light as the passage of the sun being farther north or south is blocked by the looming mountains on either side.
The town has both a dour history, and a somewhat lackluster appearance during times when most people are enjoying the height of the heat or cold. Piedmont is somewhat neutral, both in temperature and tone. It is known for being windy.
Given the shadows caused by nearby mountains, farming is not opportune, but possible here. Most families grow personal gardens, and have them tended by whoever is interested in during a given season. Root vegetables are common and easy enough including potatoes, rutabagas, carrots, and some others. Although certain families tastes lend themselves to other options: pumpkins, squash, tomatoes, beans, and the rare but small apple tree.

Located centrally on the continent, Piedmont experiences each of the seasons in full, and has particularly autumnal Autumns.
