Bronce

Bronce
The northernmost town on the island of Chillhame, Bronce was once a prosperous mining town but when the mines exhausted themselves nearly a century ago the rest of the town fell apart.

Currently only a couple hundred people live in or around the once large city, mostly subsisting on farming and fishing.

Curiously, the village has never faced the attacks of raiders and monstrous humanoids that many other towns on the island are often subjected to, a fact the more superstitious villagers attribute to being protected by the spirit of an old Folk hero named Starkweather John.
