Bromwich
Bromwich
Bromwich was once a modest town bustling with trade opportunities and opened welcome arms to travelers looking to enter Alliria. It was a home to humble people, all of whom were grateful for their ease of travel to Alliria. Located roughly twenty miles form Alliria's front gate on the western side of the reach, Bromwich was once a hotspot for foreigners and travelers alike.
After an unfortunate attack brought on by a wandering pack of ghouls most likely forced from their homes, the people of Bromwich, who had only the most basic knowledge of defense, were all but wiped out. The town was overrun by ghouls for the longest of times and travelers instead turned to neighboring towns and villages for their needs. When Bromwich was picked clean and the ghouls deemed their former home safe to return to, they left a foul stench behind them as they left the town in shambles. Not a single trace of life remained in the once bustling town.
Since then, Bromwich has been taken by a group of bandits who call themselves the Drumlaws. Proud and brave, they've fended off any danger from entering the now abandoned town for the past fifty years. Any lost soul who mistakes the town as somewhere safe to spend the cold nights is unlucky to never see the light of day.
As of late, the town served a battlefield between the forces of Sung Na's men from Xian Kin and the bandits residing there. After a pact with Allirian Merchant Council member Aldrich Stone, Sung Na, with the enlisted help of Gracia von Stehlen, promised to take back the town. Sung Na intended to use the town as the first of his people's new settlements to expand into western areas. His efforts were successful and he now works to rebuild the town into something habitable while establishing a relationship with Alliria and the Merchant Council.

Overview
Demographic
Completely taken over by a quaint, but ruthless group of bandits, the current demographic of Bromwich is entirely human. There are few children, all of whom are trained from birth to join their band of so-called warriors. The elderly are even fewer, most of whom die hunting or pillaging.
Designation
Once a town of trade and travel, Bromwich no longer serves a people or a purpose, other than to house the Drumlaw bandit gang.
Description
Architecture
[1]
The entirety of the town is constructed of simple materials such as straw and wood and occasionally, stone. The only building of any sufficient detail was the quaint manor of the former baron. It is the only structure, other than the tavern, to have more than a single story.
