The biggest city in the Dagger Shores (and second largest in the Unfounded, behind only Snaggletooth on the opposite side of the continent), Baum Phawk has a history rich in being sacked, repaired, looted, grown, and toppled—often with districts enacting that list on their neighbors, no out-side influences necessary. Depending on where a person is, the city may look like a ruin, high-class gentrified estates, mercantile, or militaristic; often those descriptions can change in a day or two—especially if there are adventurers around, and there are always adventurers around. This history has led it to also being the most diverse metropolis in the region, with districts (or at least streets) dedicated to almost every species who call Faewalk home—including the typically evil varieties. This attribute is also why it is home to the head quarters of every significant guild on the Dagger Shores (who call the Neutral District home because it’s the only location in the city considered off-bounds to the political shenanigans of the district).
Started as a fortress in the northern reaches of the Unfounded at the inland intersection of the Dagger Shores, Friggenfrigid Tundra, and the Middlemost Coast, Boulders Fence got its name from the materials it was originally constructed of: boulders from the Black Curtains mountains. Today it is the most formidable military power in the Dagger Shores and the only thing keeping them from conquering the other cities to unify the region is the constant state of political turmoil that the city undergoes. Since it’s establishment, there’s been a near constant string of warlords, dictators, self-proclaimed emperors, Dark Ones, and generals who are continually dispatched by their successors. If it wasn’t for the fact that Boulders Fence is the only city of note for a hundred [[Agaum|reaches]], making it a necessary evil for residents of the region to rely on, there’s a good chance it would have completely imploded and abandoned generations ago.

Started as a fortress in the northern reaches of the Unfounded at the inland intersection of the Dagger Shores, Friggenfrigid Tundra, and the Middlemost Coast, Boulders Fence got its name from the materials it was originally constructed of: boulders from the Black Curtains mountains. Today it is the most formidable military power in the Dagger Shores and the only thing keeping them from conquering the other cities to unify the region is the constant state of political turmoil that the city undergoes. Since it’s establishment, there’s been a near constant string of warlords, dictators, self-proclaimed emperors, Dark Ones, and generals who are continually dispatched by their successors. If it wasn’t for the fact that Boulders Fence is the only city of note for a hundred reaches, making it a necessary evil for residents of the region to rely on, there’s a good chance it would have completely imploded and abandoned generations ago.
