Firsthall was where the Hunter's Guild began.  It was here that the notorious villain, Efelian the Crimson, banded together with a number of the clergy of the gods of light and built an organization that kept the collapse of Jacqueline Heartreaver's empire from plunging all the surrounding nations into chaos.  But blood was spilled in the doing, as her monster armies rent the nation asunder, turning the shining jewels of it's cities into moldering ruins.  Thus was the Reaver's Scar born.  And in the century that has passed since the death of her empire, the town of Firsthall has stood firm.<br/><br/>A small, but sturdy city wall surrounds Firsthall, blackened with scars, and with work crews nearly constantly repairing some damage from one attack or another, most recently from when a trio of ogres attempted to breach the city wall.  The town was small, in spite of everything, with only a few thousand ever calling it home at a given time.  Several small magic item shops lie within its walls, and it is a launching point for many adventurers into the Reaver's Scar, which lies only a few miles away, across the river on which the town lies.  Merchants come to Firsthall, but not without trepidation, for within the Scar are many horrors and monsters.  Insane cultists dedicated to the worship of the fallen Jacqueline have created the Cult of the Heartreaver, and they respect only power.  Demon-blooded amazons induct new women into their tribe to serve their demonic gods, and kill men if they're lucky.  A hobgoblin clan is building in the ruins of the depths of the Scar, and few are happy to hear of it.  Dragons and looters explore the ruins of the empire, gathering what pieces of treasure they can dig up.  All of these contribute to the dangers which make the merchants wary at best of times.
