Garidan is a medium sized medieval town on the western, and more habitable half of the Hammerhead Peninsula. The town was an NPC village discovered by Draglide12, nestled between three dark oak forests. Draglide built a canal running North-South through the middle of town, then proceeded to add more structures and roads.

Lore

Garidan is the premier lawful trading city on the Sea of Corsairs. Frequent raids from both pirates and the mountain clans living on the eastern half of the Hammerhead Peninsula have made the city and its inhabitants hardy, and alcoholic. The town is somewhat fortified, though in large part relies on its geography for defense. When under attack from either land or sea the population simply move themselves an their valuables to the other side of the canal and raise the sole bridge crossing it, and wait out or sometimes fend off attackers.

Though many smuggled and pirated goods move through the town on the way north to the great trading cities of Syrus, the legendary honor, tempered with pragmatism, of the local nobility have prevented Garidan from backsliding into savagery and anarchy.

The town is named for the nearby Worldtree Garidan, the embodiment of Tenacity, whose branches shade and watch over the town.
