HELLSCAPE:
FARAMUND'S REST
═──────────────────═

Nestled deep within the labyrinth's depths, a fledgling settlement emerges. Born from the toil of fiendish souls rescued by daring Alterans, it strives to create a semblance of civilization, offering respite to weary travellers and courageous explorers. Faramund's Rest, as it is known, stands as a beacon of hope amidst the darkness, defying the odds and beckoning those in search of refuge.

Yet, the shadows of peril and the looming presence of the mighty Minotaur cast an ever-present threat. The settlement's growth, though a testament to resilience, carries the risk of becoming ensnared in the very dangers it seeks to escape. Its fate, like countless settlements before it, remains entwined with the labyrinth's treacherous embrace.

As the settlement flourishes, it teeters on the precipice, where triumph and tragedy intertwine. Will Faramund's Rest stand as a testament to the mortal spirit or succumb to the inevitable fate that shadows its existence? Only time will reveal the answer, as the settlement perseveres, casting a fragile light in defiance of the encroaching darkness.

[ RUMORS ]
...
Rumours of a small settlement emerge, offering passage into the treacherous Labyrinth of Sins for adventurers desiring to seek out the great riches and secrets hidden within its passages.
...


OOC Note:
Settlement is comprised of a few NPCs rescued from previous Labyrinth events and isn't intended for players to live in the day-to-day. That said- if a player group wish to try to stay there more permanently, we can arrange an event around this, but DMs warning >

FARAMUND'S REST
PROSPERITY

Akin to the What We Sow Arc by Snowymaximus, Faramund's Rest will be affected by how Alterans interact with the inhabitants.
Actions that positively affect the settlement will increase the prosperity bar and unlock more opportunities for adventurers.
Actions that negatively affect the settlement will decrease the prosperity bar and remove opportunities for adventurers.

However with one small difference:
If the settlement grows too prosperous, the settlement will be at greater risk of being discovered by one of the many looming dangers of the Labyrinth and shattered by external forces.
If the prosperity meter hits the bottom of the meter, the settlement will be torn apart by internal strife and ruined.
