Graystead is a town of geysers and hot springs. It is a luxury place in Zecria. The hot springs have healing properties that replenish any wounds or exhausted arcane spells. This town also produces lots of potatoes and carrots, roots. There is a cabal of witches and wizards who govern the town. One of Bothos' spells created a massive storm that destroyed half of the stone buildings in Graystead. The town of Graystead is in fear of barbarians coming to take over and make use of the magical hot springs. Because of that fear a series of watchtowers and forts spread throughout the town. The rules here seem to be enforced in a haphazard fashion, incomprehensible to visitors. This is due to the outspoken philosopher who is the authority figure here.

Stone houses with the exception of the hot spring house. That is made out of a magically enchanted wood, so it never deteriorates.
