East Drelmere

Originally a camp for workers supporting Drelmere during the worst of the Fray disturbances, East Drelmere grew into a permanent settlement as the main town's instability drove residents to seek more predictable ground. It lacks Drelmere's history but compensates with practical infrastructure — better roads, a functioning market, and walls that stay where they're built. The relationship between the two settlements is one of quiet codependence: Drelmere holds the Bell Tree's memory; East Drelmere holds the bakery, the dock, and the children.
