Northreach Still A Hotspot

NORTHREACH - Despite Dark Wildling attacks, an Imperial Policy that has restricted all known Marked Mages to the area, and a number of tensions and problems resulting from the township being such a boiling pot of social entrapment and Noble hubris, Northreach is apparently still attracting merchants, travelers, and visitors from other areas of the Empire who have little reason to be there other than personal desire and whim.

Trade is still booming, and though House Seamel has attracted a number of barbed arrows over various decisions it has made while attempting to keep the township running smoothly in the face of so many hurdles, the social and economic benefits are apparently balancing out the political costs.

Indeed, some of those who recently fled the township in the wake of the Dark Wildling incident are also returning, inspired by those who remained behind, and those who have come from other parts of Fastheld of their own accord.
