Vashtair-Ande

Vashtair-Ande, or "Gateway of Truth" as it translates to in it's original language, the Glerchde tongue, is a sizable town located in the Sutherland Province of Frostmarch. Founded by it's current leader, Doctor Ren Pockets, Vashtair-Ande serves as a cultural hub filled with many strange and interesting characters from all walks of life.

The First Founding
After being forced out of a town by the name of Die Einde, Doctor Ren wandered aimlessly, drifting across the seas until she found himself in Frostmarch. There, she found an abadoned castle, facing ruin. With no signs of life, Ren decided to declare herself the custodian and therefore owner of the castle, and began building a simple settlement for travellers passing by.

As more people decided to permanently join this settlement, Ren decided to proclaim it a full-fledged town, and dubbed it "Vashtair-Ande", translating to "Gateway of Truth".

Two Strange Visitors
Two Visitors, by the names of Yoshieboy1234 and guwemama came to Vashtair-Ande, expressing wish to join. Ren accepted, with some skepticism, and she told her advisors to keep a close eye on them. As Doctor Pockets left to run an errand, the two immediately began an assault on the town. Thankfully, Ren had cast a charm that prevented them from accessing chests and destroying blocks, and the threat was driven out eventually.

That being said, this battle would not of been won if it weren't for the repeated sacrifice of Wulfstan bringing himself to 'near-death' situations over and over before finally ridding the two with just the power of friendship and a stone axe.

After the two were banished from the town, not soon after, they begged to be let back in, promising retribution for their actions. Doctor Pockets aquiesced, under the condition that:


 * Yoshieboy1234 and guwemama were to pay a fine of 10 diamond blocks to be allowed entry.
 * To prove trustworthiness, they were to do unpaid labour for a short time period until they were considered full citizens
 * During this period, they were to relinquish their weapons, which would be returned afterward.

They accepted, however, not long after, Doctor Pockets decided to go back on this, as all the town members who were there at the time expressed extreme suspicion of the two. After some negotiation, the two were returned their things, and were sent on their way. They have not been heard from since.

(More to come as I figure out lore)

Economy
The majority of income from Vashtair-Ande, if not all of it, comes from mining. While there are several farmers who work in the fields, that produce is used for food, rather than profit. Despite being the mayor, Ren has very little money herself, instead choosing to work for the town. The richest member of the town is most likely Cookie, who's lack of need to eat and sleep assists him to mine and fish.
