On the coast of the beautiful Golden Sea, Braemark is a bustling port city with a harbor that moves many goods to and from lands far across the ocean. Founded nearly two centuries ago by the valiant Braemarian Cavaliers, this city has a history of honor and faith, playing host to many temples of lawful and good-aligned deities. The Braemarian Cavaliers were a group of adventurers who saved the land against a legion of dragons who sought to destroy the citizens living there. After their retirement, they set up their homes on the coast, and soon after a small township grew, attracting those who wished for the safety of the famed heroes. Presently the city is protected by the Stewards, guards who are dressed in dark brown leather armor with yellow trim. The economy of Braemark is largely based on the service of merchant vessels and the vast trade goods that move in and out. Many citizens here tend to be pious in their views, as aligning with the deities who protect the settlement, but overall Baremark has come to have a cosmopolitan population and temperament.
