Originally, the town’s first buildings sprang up along the rocky beach at the base of the cliffs. These small huts
of stone and thatch served as the humble dwellings of the sturdy folk that came to settle this popular fishing
hole. In the years to follow, as commerce paved the way for further development, large warehouses were
erected to accommodate the bountiful hauls, and the area surrounding the docks rapidly became overcrowd-
ed. The industrious fisher folk wasted no time in widening the narrow and treacherous footpath that wound
its way to the top of the cliffs, allowing the town to spread beyond the confines of the narrow strip of shore-
line. Generally, only the wealthiest of townsfolk built their homes atop the cliff, for fierce winds often ravaged
the higher ground, leaving only the sturdiest constructions intact. In time, the folk of Targos erected a stone
wall around the town to help stave off the periodic attacks by goblins and barbarians.
The town of Targos is divided into three separate maps: the Targos Docks, Targos Town, and if rumors hold
true, the newly-constructed Palisade outside of town. Hedron has recommended you seek out Lord
Dinnsmore in the town above the docks for details on seeking employment in the Targos Guard.
