Crow Petal Valley

Crow Petal Valley is a walled city of roughly 15 000 inhabitants situated in the Fieldside fiefdom of The Kingdom of Bedivere. It is the third most populous city in the Kingdom, following closely after Helming. Crow Petal Valley is the ancestral home of House Hudsonmyre, and the House's branch family is the administrators of the city along with an appointed council of five lesser Nobles and oligarchs. Crow Petal Valley is a major trading port along the Quicksilver Pass and sits on a stupendous deposit of precious metals such as gold and silver. It is estimated that the taxes from trade conducted in Crow Petal Valley makes up 24% of the revenue of Bedivere.

History
Crow Petal Valley was founded in c.217 B.D. (573 P.C.) by Dwarven prospectors from Clan Lauchnag searching for mithril along the Hook River. Never finding mithril but instead stumbling upon huge veins of gold and silver, a boomtown soon sprung up around the Valley. So named after the black lilies that grew in the caves in the region, Crow Petal Valley soon gained the attention of the great houses of Bedivere. For several decades house Myre attempted to take over Crow Petal Valley by force, but the inhabitants of the Valley had accumulated enough wealth to hire the necessary mercenary forces to defend the town. Some time in the 180's B.D. the Titan Meniphistus appeared in Crow Petal Valley and took control of the town and its mines. House Myre, who was the stewards of Fieldside Fiefdom at the time, forged a strategic marriage with the military power House Hudson, becoming House Hudsonmyre. Hudsonmyre reclaimed Crow Petal Valley by force from the titan and were heralded as liberators.

Several decades later Crow Petal Valley had grown substantially from surfacing Drow. Establishing a school of magic in Crow Petal Valley, many hundreds of potentially mages came to learn the arcane arts in the burgeoning town. When the Arcana Genocide occurred in 98 B.D. all teachers at the school were burned at the stake as sorcerers and many Drow were chased out of the region. The school would be abandoned for many years before becoming the College of Crow.

In the years since Gareth Arthure's disappearance from the public sphere and the expansion of mankind Crow Petal Valley has seen aggressive economic expansion.
