'' “You know, I love this place. I love it a lot. But I swear there can’t be a place any more boring than this.” ''

 Freehold is a trading town on the border of the southern savage lands, most notably a hometown to Tachana Crown. The town is in the middle of a great plains, and it’s small size is due primarily to it’s lack of natural defenses, and "staying power" to keep travelers living there.

 The town started initially as a small farming community. Over the decades, the states to the south needed to deliver supplies and resources to bigger cities in the north, putting this small town in a perfect position to become trading partners with everyone. Playing neutral, and catering to merchants by building spacious Inn's, taverns with great food and drink, and supplying travel rations at fair prices, it became a bustling village. It is not far from the coast, enabling ships to dock and shipment to restock. It towers over the quiet and flat landscape, allowing lost traders to easily see it from far distances.  It is well defended for being such a small village, having a well organized military to defend it's great stone walls against attackers of various sizes. However the village is mostly invisible to formal attackers like larger city-states and nation-states, as the village holds no real tactical or geographic advantage other than the arable land surrounding it.
