Timberfall

Timberfall was the first city that the players found. It was ruled over by Lord Tarmikos. Players had political standing in Timberfall:
 * Maven has an apprenticeship to court mage.
 * Aranethon is a member of the Knight's Guard.

The players led a successful coup in Timberfall and killed Lord Tarmikos. Aranethon now has complete control over the city, and the players have these positions:
 * Aranethon serves as Consul, the de jure and de facto leader.
 * Fruhand is Praetor, head of the army and guard, as well as minister of the corn regime.
 * Maven is the court mage.
 * Though not part of the government in any way, Ren controls the thieves guild.

General Characteristics
Timberfall has about 1,500 people is generally a normal city. The town seemed to have conflicts and resentment towards Treerun, established by differences in conservation efforts and ingrained by Lord Tarmiko's support of anti-Treerun persons.

After the players led a succesful coup against lord Tarmikos, they changed the government to a Republic under the just rule of its philosopher-king, Consul Tullius. The named officials, except the Praetor, may be selected from the Academy, which is open to all citizens that are deemed to be of high enough moral and intellectual merit. At the Academy, they hone their skills in philosophy, ethics, and law. The Praetor is elected from the upper tiers of the military order and is detached from the civilian government.
 * The Consul serves for life, and is succeeded by a youth selected based on merit and virtue by a committee of an elected elder council, which are his cabinet of advisors. The consul is head of state, serving as the firm guiding hand of the Republic.
 * Beneath him in power is the office of Praetor, the head of the armed forces and guard. The praetor is elected every four years.
 * Two pairs of Aediles serve as enforcers of the law and head of the judicial system, each elected every six years in an alternating pattern.
 * A new Quaestor is elected yearly to oversee the financial system.
 * A Tribune is elected yearly by the Senate to serve as its head.
 * The Senate contains 75 members chosen by the yearly drawing of lots, generally composed of ordinary citizens, rather than the academy system.
