Many people, from both sides, still question the wisdom of that decision. In the end, it was thought that the town would be safer from invasion with buffer of expendable people East of the river.

When Woodside first erected its town walls, there was great debate about whether or not to include Rockbottom inside of the townРІР‚в„ўs official boundary. Rockbottom almost exists as a town unto itself as few citizens of either side of the Town River often cross it. Originally the location of a small serfdom of farmers, fishermen and labourers that sprung up to support OrekРІР‚в„ўs hunting lodge, Rockbottom is now home to WoodsideРІР‚в„ўs poorest and most unsavory citizens. Among the buildings in this area are the Trade Union Hall, the MerchantРІР‚в„ўs Guild, the Currency Exchange, the Headquarters of the Falcon Guards (the townРІР‚в„ўs police/guard force) and other offices dealing with licencing, permits, regulatory issues and all of WoodsideРІР‚в„ўs other bureaucratic needs.Р”Р„cross the Town River lies a region of Woodside known as Rockbottom. Agencies and offices dealing with the day to day running of the town can be found here. Non-residents of the Palace District require a written invitation from a resident to gain entry into the Palace District.Р”Р‡urther to the East is a small stretch of government and bureaucratic buildings known as Administration Row. Only Ladies, lords and nobles РІР‚вЂњ many of whom are descendants of Orek РІР‚вЂњ along with the richest of merchants, traders and retired adventurers of upstanding reputation can call the Palace District home.

This is where the wealthiest members of Woodside live. The Palace grounds are mostly open to the public (although the Palace itself is tightly guarded) and host a temple to Thellyne, Sister of the Hunt.Р”Вirectly to the East of the Palace is a walled community called The Palace District. The current occupant of the Palace is Queen Annabella Jimmeron, the eldest living ancestor of Orek and presiding monarch of Woodside. Many decades later, what was once a simple lodge is now known as Jimmeron Palace. Over the years as the lodge grew and expanded, a small town began to spring up around it. Founded nearly a century ago, Woodside was originally the location of a wilderness hunting lodge built by a wealthy nobleman named Orek Jimmeron. The campaign begins in a small but bustling town of Woodside.
