You have been walking for some time, you didn't plan on going this far and now you feel lost. what you were looking for has eluded you and you need to find shelter for a storm is approaching and you are running out of provisions.
Suddenly you see smoke rising in the distance at the foot of a mountain not a couple of miles from where you are standing. Knowing the danger you choose to risk it and head for the smoke.
After walking for what seems like hours you finally come across a town, a small sign some 500 meters to your left on a road you didn't know was there before reads "Welcome to Malum".
Here you will be greeted by the most friendly settlers you can hope for. Here is Malum we welcome you with open arms and are happy to get you back to your adventuring, and if you wish to stay you are most welcome to do so.
We are a simple people enjoying working together and pursuing our personal interests, weather it be farming, science, art, we see all knowledge as valuable and welcome any who wish to come to teach or learn.
Malum is also home to the Church of the Burning, a local religion few in number but respected as it has taken the form of a religious militant organization that works to spread their message and defend the people from bandits and wildlife threats.
I am your Mayor and head of the Church of the Burning. We welcome you and hope you enjoy your stay in our humble town, obey our laws and keep the peace and we will be happy to accommodate anything you need.
We are located in the Kingdom of Bordweall, Grand Duchy of Caeruleum, County of Nod.
May the Fire guide you in the dark, warm you in the night and guard you from harm brothers and sisters!
