Red Grass

Red Grass is a significant city in the region due to its proximity to the Gap of Westronil and its strategic military location. It is ruled over by Lord So and So, the brother of the King. It lies north of Gristmill.

History
Following the War of the Gap, Lord So and So was awarded lands in this region thanks to his service in the field.

Politics
So and So still has plenty of uncertainty as to how long the current peace will last. He is cautious about traitors and spies trying to gain the upper hand. He imposes strict laws and punishments which don't necessarily harm people, and his main goal is to maintain order and discipline. This has left a sense of fear and respect throughout the community.

So and So has often left day-to-day duties to other individuals and maintains a military standing.

Economy
The economy of Red Grass is moderately successful due to a nearby river with which to trade.

Grains
Several nearby villages, including Gristmill, have continuous caravans to bring food supplies to the city. The city does not have the terrain necessary for large scale farming, though small farms are around.

Salt
The salt trade industry is very large here, as it is mined from the nearby salt mines. This is the nearest city with which to trade.

The Grave
Red Grass gets its name from the large amount of blood that was spilled in the area during the war, when many men fought to defend the gap. There is a massive grave where many were buried, and later a church was constructed in that area.
