Gildenglade

Gildenglade is a settlement in the forest area at the foot of the Aphrunn Mountains in Turmish. This city is the second-largest within Turmish, composed of dwarves, elves and half-elves living together in harmony. Its economy is based primarily upon woodcutting and mining.

Hierarchy
The elves of the community serve as rulers of the community, their skill with preservation allowing them to handle negotiations with the Emerald Enclave. They also are used as a woodcutting force, but they enjoy their work and are not mistreated. Dwavers of the city mainly concentrate on mining the unusually pure veins of gold underneath Gildenglade. Half-elves serve as the physical labor force for their kins' forrestry efforts.

Recent History
Given the ammount of wealth in Gildenglade, it is not surprising that tales of treasure have arisen over the years. By chance a few of these rumours have been given credence. The most recent of which occurred when a visitor to Gildenglade followed a phantom whom traversed the streets with sacks of gold. The spectre turned out to be a crimson death, with the greedy tourist quickly becoming the creature's meal. Other crimson deaths have been seen roaming the area around the forrested settlement.
