D&D Atlas: Merchaise

Merchaise is a large town on the edge of the Serpentfang Mountain Range.  Because of its location just beyond the pass, it serves as a trading stop for merchants on either side of the mountains.  Goods trickle in from the Trillium, the Frontier and Elan from the East, and the Bahren Forest (where Duskhome and other Elven villages are) Marden in the South and Ole-Var in the West.  The trade has caused Merchaise to face an explosion in its economy and many travelers as well as adventurers visit to shop or to search for work (usually in protecting merchant caravans).

However recently, there have been strange events transpiring in the growing town.  Cultists of Zehir are starting to gather and are spreading their faith which is making the Church of Pelor and the mayor of Merchaise wary.  Orphans are disappearing from the shelters and the streets.  Finally, an orc tribe is assaulting caravans along the main mountain road, delaying or otherwise stopping trade.
