Merchants come from all corners of the Vale to do business inside the was of the river city.

It was here where the agents of darkness were beaten back and defeated, for what all hoped was forever.

Government
The city has a council, two thirds of whom are hereditary landlords and the remainder of whom are guild masters from the city's important trade guilds.

Defense
The city has 200 soldiers under arms at all times, with about one-quarter on duty at any given time. The city also has a well-equipped, but poorly trained soldier's militia.

Economy
Brindol is well know for its production of fine wines and cheeses. The country side to the North yields olives and grapes. Along the river are many orchards of oranges and lemons. The South is rich with grain and wheat.

Tiefling caravans come to Brindol three or four times a year, bringing with them rare herbs collected throughout the year. It is this trade of herbs that has gained Tieflings a place of acceptance in an otherwise hostile social environment. It is these herbs that are the life blood of the city and the fuel of the economy.
