Hardbuckler

A small stopover town of gnomes, dwarves and humans that sits on the Dusk Road, south of the Northdark Wood and Trielta Hills, and just north of the Northern Reaching Woods. The city is currently dealing with some sort of plague that has been dubbed the Crimson Tongue Death due to the manner of the victim's demise, a bloated tongue and heavy coagulation of the blood. Because of the numerous, violent and bloody deaths that have spread across the city, the town has devolved into authoritarian rules with nightly curfews and "cleanses" of the infected populace by the "Physician Magistrates", those who have been tasked with leading The Bucklers in burning down the homes of infected, usually with the victims still inside.

This is the town that Flynrich Hilltopple spent a good time in, having been born nearby and having spent many years here while working with his father.
