Rosemerrow is the largest city in northwestern Hieron, the traditional center of halfling culture, and the hometown of Fero Feritas.
History[edit | edit source]
Rosemerrow was once inhabited by both gnolls and halflings, but gradually the latter drove out the former (though this fact is a matter of contentious debate). The city is named after Rosalind Marroweater, a halfling from the time of the Marielda interlude who stole a piece of the sun from Samothes's palace. In recent years, the city has grown at what feels like an unnaturally fast pace, and it is a center of both agriculture and trading. The city is a mixture of new and old culture, but even the new gestures toward the old.
Geography[edit | edit source]
Rosemerrow is a group of semi-independent municipalities who each have their own government, with an elected chancellor presiding over the city.
