=== '''[[The Order of the Watchful Eye | === '''Cloister of the [[The Order of the Watchful Eye|Order of the Watchful Eye]]''' === | ||
This collection of buildings surrounded by walls with high parapets overlooks the town of Gammelgard and the sea beyond. The cloister houses approximately 100 people that are exclusively [[Dwarf|dwarves]]. The occupants are a collection of Clerics, Paladins and Monks who follow and serve the causes of [[Moradin]]. Since the inception of [[Gun|firearms]], Artificers have found a prominent role in the Order as well. Many of the best dwarven crafters of firearms, weapons and armor come to collaborate in the Cloister and sell their wares in the market of Gammelgard. | |||
Access to the cloister by anyone not of the Order is restricted to the largest building in the complex, The Great Hall, which is accessed directly from the main gate. Any attempts to enter the cloister through another location or to leave the Great Hall and enter the cloister will be met with swift and harsh resistance. | |||
Additionally, there are a cluster of smaller buildings that stand along with the Great Hall that serve as barracks, a barn, a small smithy and a kitchen to support any persons working for the Order. | |||
==== Order of the Watchful Eye Kitchen ==== | |||
The Order's Kitchen came to some notoriety around the mid 820sPR, in part to so many adventures passing through to hunt mutated orcs and goblins, dragons, and to fight the shadows. It is unclear if the kitchen’s food was particularly good or just "less bad" than that of the surrounding area. In either case, the kitchen staff had their work cut out for them, serving the adventurers and refugees from the events of the region. Many adventurers prefer taking jobs out of Gammelgard because it comes with a free night’s stay, a hearty breakfast, and snacks for the road. | |||
After one notable adventure, the owlin [[Búho]] attempted to teach a Gammelgard cook Rose how to make chocolate. In a comical-yet-depressing series of events, the entire kitchen caught fire and had to be evacuated. Although there were no casualties, Rose was quite shaken (but retained her job). It took several weeks to rebuild the Order’s kitchen. Now, a sign hangs outside the kitchen door stating, “authorized personnel only” and in smaller handwritten scrawl form disgruntled guests “but why” and “curse you Buho.” | |||
After the shadows receded in 826PR, there was an influx of customers looking specifically for muffins, which puzzled many locals. Word on the street was that a quarterfinalist from that year’s Tournament of Fist and Fury, [[Spinel]], had mentioned how much she liked the Gammelgard muffins in an interview and fans took note. | |||
=== '''High Market Commons''' === | === '''High Market Commons''' === | ||
This area of the town is a collection of shops that sell all manner of wares. The shops surround a grassy, tree speckled commons that, once a month during the warmer seasons, hosts a large trade event known as Grand Market Day. Craftsmen and traders from all over the continent and sometimes from abroad will bring their wares to sell at this market. This market functions as an advantageous time for the local shops as well as the cloister to acquire sometimes hard to get items and materials. Though this event is only once a month, it is common for the shops to host a smaller Market Day once a week that, while a bit smaller, draws in craftsmen and traders from the wider region around Gammelgard and commonly becomes a popular social gathering for townspeople. | This area of the town is a collection of shops that sell all manner of wares.
