Government: Mayor
Affiliation: Trabia
Demonym: Trabian
Population: 100
Geography: Kresca sits within a forest of Trabian Fir trees at the base of Vile Thorn, the tallest mountain in the Sorbald Mountain Range. It is a five hour climb from the nearest town, Hyegsvun. Due to a variety of factors like frequent snowstorms, infertile land, high altitude, remoteness and dangerous wildlife, very few people still live in Kresca.
Culture: Considered backwards yokels by those who know them, the mountain folk who live in remote Kresca do little more than farm the few crops that will grow at the high altitudes, maintain their buildings and equipment, and drink copious amounts of moonshine. Some of the younger residents work in the nearby town of Hyegsvun, but the majority of the current residents are past working age. A local legend involving monsters coming with every snowstorm to snatch unruly children keeps what few children live there in line.
Architecture: All of the buildings in Kresca are stone, wood and straw. Despite their simplistic, pragmatic nature they have been well maintained for generations. Grayson Manor, on the other hand, while now dilapidated, has its own grounds and wrought iron fence and is of a distinctly Deling style.
Industry: Kresca has no exports or industry to speak of, and is considered by locals to be a dying town that will most likely not survive the loss of its eldest generation.
History: A town so remote and small it is left off of most maps, Kresca was founded in 1782AW by Archibald Grayson, a wealthy Trabian mining magnate. His workers built the town of Kresca in a forest clearing, while Grayson Manor was built on its outskirts. After the mines dried up, there was nothing keeping the majority of the workers there.
There was a fire that burned several buildings and cost at least two lives in 5AW. The buildings were not rebuilt.
In 17AW, children began to vanish from the hamlet with the arrival of a succession of snowstorms, just like in their local urban legend. Eventually, anyone who ventured into the woods ran a high risk of being mauled to death by the mysterious creatures. SeeD was hired to investigate, leading to the Garden Event: In Coldest Blood.
Military: Aside from a local constable, Kresca has no police force nor militia.
