Lore
(this section under construction)
After the sundering of Master Wizard Sidious' tower and accompanying pocket dimension, several pure elementals escaped into Emerald Winds, disrupting the balance of nature around the city and it's holding. Many quests and adventures were had in destroying the elementals to restore the previous balance, though one person, Anya, seemed content absorbing their power. A period of relative peace followed, though a slow decline set in afterwards.
The hard times began in earnest when the star fell on Winter's Edge. A single star glassed the surrounding farmlands of the city, making the land barren and difficult to work. However, a blessing from Gaia herself helped return the fields to life, though it was abit too much, and caused the tall wheat to overrun the forests and town itself. While the balance was able to restored, the town never fully recovered and slowly dwindled into ruin.
When the town reopened, it quickly grew to a thriving barony. Now boasting Sidious' magic college and Haraldr's battlemaster academy, with a very popular tavern on the town square run by a collective of Rats. Though now, with the expansion of the realm, An ongoing war between Gnomes and Fairies has leaked into Amtgard, with Emerald Winds caught in the middle aiding whichever side is paying more.
The people of Emerald Winds aided in the ending of the Gnome-Fairy War by helping to reconcile two twins: Timber Twinkle-Tinker and Tunder Tinker-Twinkle. By reconnecting these two half-gnome half-fairies separated at birth with the roots of their other parent, they came together and created a popular front against war profiteers who had been keeping the war going, thus bringing peace to the lands.
