Brackenridge

Brackenridge is a small town that lies on the border between Port Samaria and the Ewedian Empire along the First Road.

Settlement
In the center of Brackenridge lies a massive black dragon skull, the only remaining feature of the once terrifying dragon, Brimstone the Jealous. After Brimstone's death, the area around became fertile. The people that came along the First Road during this time noticed the way that plants seemed to grow near the skull, and took it as a sign that they should settle there.

Geography
Brackenridge lies southwest of the Ferrous Hills, which makes it a common stop for miners and other laborers on their way to the mines there. Its close proximity also has caused it to have a large amount of ashfall. The ash has changed their agriculture to mostly root vegetables, in particular winter yams.

Climate
The climate is quite cold, as the ash that falls here obscures the sun on most days. When it rains, the water runs black and can stain houses, clothing, skin, and most anything else that is unlucky enough to be out in the rain while it falls.
