Breezeway is a small town of around 700 citizens which is located near the beginning of the Brawlings River which flows downstream (north) to Nix, Aedok, and eventually, Bright Point, and the Northern Ocean.
Breezeway was named after the Breezeway Inn, which was built here a few hundred years ago. At that point, there was a road, but no other settlements nearby. After the Breezeway Inn was founded, it attracted some other merchants who moved in to setup their own stroefronts and the inn turned into the central point of a small hamlet.
Unfortunately, about 30 years ago, the Breezeway Inn burned down (a lantern was tipped over in the adjoining stable and quickly spread fire through the building), removing the landmark which this city was named. The town was able to survive this incident and a new Breezeway Inn was created.
The land around Breezeway is not well suited for farming, though there are several good places for herding animals. Breezeway does import food from surrounding farms and from locations such as Nix. Because Breezeway lies between two large city-states (Aedok to the north and Norvino to the southwest), it does see travelers and merchants. Since it lies near the end of the river, it sees travelers as they switch from river to road and vice versa.
Adventure Notes:
The campaign, "Northern Odyssey" begins here in Breezeway. The PCs are part of a caravan heading north into the town. The caravan includes numerous travelers, as is common through the Scandiaca wilderness, most of whom are moving onto Nix or, more likely, Aedok itself. The PCs should have their own reasons for traveling into the territory of Aedok. It is not necessary for any of the PCs to "know" each other prior to this first adventure, though all PCs will be aware of all other caravan travelers by the time the adventure starts.
The caravan includes two wagons with various cargo, one coach, and a total of 18 people (including the PCs).
