Medley

While full of fierce heroes, the city of Medley is less of a elite settlement and more of a vacation home for the adventurers who have earned their fortunes long ago. Due to this the city overall is rather laid back, but when there is a threat to their peace and tranquility the citizens work alongside the Gauntlet to restore it. Additionally, it has also became the place where many adventurers retire to after their days of quests and dragon slaying are behind them.   As one of the three cities of the Scorchlands, the duke/duchess of the settlement is actually a member of the Tribune as opposed to just a random general or relative to the royal family. Historically, the member of the Tribune coming from Medley has had less say than the members from Stratum or Ultribar since the other two have faced hardship far more often than Medley has. Additionally, the city is one of the few that has a positive relationship with both the Tribune and the Gauntlet since they rely on both of them to help keep the peace.   A major point of interest for the Scorchlands is the Medley Bard College which has trained some famous, and many forgotten bards. The shores of Medley are also well known as they are home to caves which due to their reverberation can capture a sound and play it repetedly for decades. The beaches are also home to many tourists and vacationers who wish to forget about the world outside the city limits.

Demographics

Medlians primarily are humanoids, specifically halflings, elves, or humans, and traditionally not dwarves since dwarves prefer a long life of hard work. They are also often wealthy since they are retired adventurers or those who received the hoarde of their ancestors. Due to this they sometimes shut out those who do not have the funds to afford the lifestyle, casting out the homeless to the outside world.

Government

Duchess Red was the ruler of Medley who was also a head of the Tribune but she was killed by mysterious assassins sent by the Unseen. Since then, the position has been left open in order to allow Ultribar to determine what they need to do to keep the new Duke or Duchess protected.

Defences

The city is protected by members of the Tribune who patrol for any possible invaders and will quickly take care of them. If needed the Duchess will come out to fight the threat personally.

Infrastructure

Though it does not produce as much trade as other settlements from things like natural resources, the village is full of artisans who will prepare virtually any good or piece of equipment possible for adventurers or other settlements, additionally, there are many artists who sell their pieces and host concerts at the city which allows them to collect a lot of gold in taxes.

Assets

There is a large general merchant which can sell any basic adventuring gear for anyone who needs. Additionally the bard college allows for the training of future adventurers and some non-bard adventurers, but is often dwarfed by the Crimson Academy.
