Urban Township

From mighty sprawling cities to smaller bustling towns, these areas are full of people—and more people means more accidents, more conflict, and more action. Adventurers journeying through urban areas have many social encounters, combat encounters against NPCs, and both circumstance and constructed terrain exploration challenges.

Terrains. Settlement, sewer, temple.

Tiers. Metropolises can be as high as tier 4 and small towns as low as tier 1.

Weather. 1–8 clear, 9–12 overcast, 13–16 rain, 17–19 mist, 20–25 snow.  

Breakable Surroundings. A critical failure on a Strength or Dexterity check results in destruction of property, angering the owner of said property.

Journey Activities. Adventurers gain an expertise die on checks made to Busk or Rob.
