Midway is a small town which happens to be at the intersecting points of five very important King's Roads. The roads leading to Bloodhelm, Pathfinder, Weatherworn, Vandez, and Cole all intersect here. The roads are well maintained and patrolled by King's Men for three days ride out on all five roads.
The town itself houses about three thousand people, most of which are King's Men and their support staff. Farmers live in the outlying area and supply a lot of the towns needs.
Because of the location, merchant traffic is heavy and most any item wanted can be found. The price and availability just depends on time of year.
The town houses a large blacksmith, a weaver, weaponsmith, a Temple to Tinaka, the Goddess of Healing, and a single inn. Supplies for adventurers are easy to come by, especially since so many King's Men are here.
The Inn of the Five Roads has been here since right after the time of the Chosen, though it has been rebuilt many times.
This is a good place to start adventuring since there are brigands, ogres, and skeigs to fight. There are also ruins nearby of old House manors and even older ruins from times long gone.
Tomorrow: Inn of the Five Roads.

Your world continues to become rich in ways that take the reader beyond the realm of just fantasy.
Tolkein has been the only fantasy I've read that kept my interest- until now.
Publish some of the chapters of My High King's Sword Novels- your readers would love to see how you weave this into a story.
