The city of Barkamsted has once been the last bastion of man, the centre of the alliance between the Kingdom and the High Elven Empire. It stood strong against the forces of the Pact, and it withstood the assault by the Ca'Liar. It was attacked many times, and survived each time.
As Lords of Barkamsted, the Eries family will ensure the continued growth and flourishment of the city. This will include its slow, but almost total, transformation, from its walls and its buildings all the way down to its sewers. This work, however, will not be done without the consent and cooperation of citizens of the city. We will be contacting property owners across the city and, if necessary, the peninsula. We will be discussing options and ensuring that everyone is justly compensated with equally-sized property as we rebuild, and all changes will be made with permission. This shall extend from our greatly esteemed Elven allies and Avalti friends all the way to the citizens of the Gut. Your rights will be protected and your lives as unaffected as possible.
Changes shall come in time. Big in some places, small in others, but gods willing all ultimately good.
Lord Varik Eries of Barkamsted
