Pendle

Overview
Pendle is a port in southern Spauria a few days east of Wolfwatch, which grew from a harbor town into a proper city during the Grimbrand War over a hundred years ago. Pendle is a true Spaurian city at heart, and has been influenced very little by voyager culture over the centuries, sticking to more traditional law, honor, and architecture. The ships that come and go from Pendle are mostly royal trading vessels sailing to Cejef and Nurn, or military ships that patrol the waters of the Grimbrand Territory. Seldom does any uncivilized voyager make their way to the docks, and if trouble is stirred in the harbor, the town guard makes peace and fairness a priority.

History
Pendle played a crucial role during the Grimbrand Wars as Spauria's grip on the southern coasts, and even today it's military significance is unaltered. However, most of the city's folklore came from before the war, when the town was little bigger than Mistwood.

One of Pendle's earliest urban legends, dating back to the first decade of the First Age, was that of the Pumpkins Three. Many of the early townsfolk truly believed that the trio of wish-granting beings really did reside on Korange Farm a half-day's travel from the city, and even today, the legend of the Pumpkins Three lives on in the hearts of the cityfolk. Every autumn Pendle celebrates Pumpkin's Boone in their honor, making wishes and retelling old stories.

Pendle is also the proud hometown of Wof the Great, a halfling paladin who accomplished many great feats in his lifetime, and tragically vanished in IA 300 during his confrontation with a fiery red dragon, who, even more mysteriously, also vanished.
