Gosvin



Gosvin is a thorp located along the Trade Road in between Drywell and Lapryt. The town has a meager population of humans, who live in small wooden homes and live simple lives. The town's prosperity relies on the traveling merchant caravans that use the Trade Road. Gosvin hosts small shops that sell a handful variety of basic needs goods.

Gosvin is virtually unprotected from the surrounding environment. The near daily dust storms generally ward the town from being a hot spot for dangerous monsters, but it reduces the people of the town to becoming shut-ins inside their homes (which are usually surrounded by tarps).

Gosvin's governor, Kalsten Jhistaro, dictates the laws and regulations of the entire town. While he is generally not cruel, he is selfish and is more interested in his citizens turning a profit than living progressive lives. The citizens of Gosvin typically work long hours, cultivating food in the isolated garden groves and rebuilding the protective barriers set up to guard the town from the rolling dust storms. All of the workers aim to meet Jhistaro's standards, which are set in place to provide a well-outfitted rest-stop for rich merchants. The neglect of Jhistaro's citizens visibly show, however, and travelers note well that the town generally has a pessimistic and unfriendly atmosphere.
