Dullin

The town of Dullin is small settlement located on the edge of the Barrier Wastes. It was founded by the Gilded Guardians adventuring party some 60 years ago. The town is the premier destination for any expeditions sent into the wastes, and as such many adventurers tend to make trips here before searching the wastes for riches and glory. The town has a population of around 1,800 and it has a diverse population, though humans are still the most common.

Dullin's exports are mostly archaeological artifacts and finds from the desert, though trade is limited. Much of the town's wealth comes from adventures and researchers that come into the town looking to set up expeditions into the desert.

Demographics
Dullin is mostly human, but it has a relatively diverse population. The population is 45% human, 10% elf, 10% half-elf, 8% gnome, 6% yuan-ti pureblood, 6% half-orc, 5% halfling, 3% gnarl, 7% other.

There are relatively few permanent houses here compared to other places, but several inns house the many adventurers that stay in town waiting to make their next trip out into the wastes.

Politics
A council of the remaining members of the Gilded Guardians oversees the laws and running of the city. They are:
 * Adrien Vorolich, a dwarven wizard of high renown. He officiates and writes the laws of the town, as well as keeping an extensive history of it.  Most of the writing is done by several unseen servants, and he just dictates to them via a magic mouth.
 * Gruck "Big Blade" Agden, a middle-aged trollkin soldier dressed in adamantine plate. He wields Mummy Cleaver, an undead-bane fullblade.  He is in charge of overseeing the guard and keeping peace within the town.
 * Sally the Red-cursed, an old halfling thief that has her hands magically stained red. She wields the Twilight's Scorn, a dancing dagger and Duelest's Defense, a Defending Rapier.  She is in charge of trading and the town treasury.
 * Dullin the Glamorous, a strangely young-appearing gnomish bard. He owns a Flying Carpet and Lord Goswick's Harp, a magical harp of legend.  He runs the Topshelf Inn and Bar, where he performs once per month.  People do come from far away to hear him perform.  Dullin mostly oversees housing and developments in town.

There was once another member of the council. He however passed away 8 years prior due to old age. He was a human priest of Zagyg named Jesse Harlowe. He was in charge of a church to Zagyg he set up within the town. A statue was erected in his honor and his magical armor, weapon, shield, and holy symbol were donated to his church. He was once the wielder of Panache Blade, a holy relic of his god.

There are several churches to various good and neutral deities set up within town, though there is no patron deity of Dullin.
