Free City

Settler's Gain, the Jade City

Settler's Gain is a free city grown into the living forests of Ghyran, where mortal ambition and the ancient forest-spirits keep an uneasy, wary peace.

Settler's Gain is a thriving free city rooted in the primeval forests of the Realm of Life, a place where the stone and iron of mortal industry rise amid trees older than the memory of kings. Its founders drove their roots deep into the Jade Kingdoms of Ghyran, and the city has flourished into a green-crowned metropolis of guilds, gardens, and gun-towers.

As a jewel of the Cities of Sigmar, Settler's Gain thrives on the boundless bounty of the realm, its markets glutted with life-giving harvests and Aqua Ghyranis. Yet its prosperity is a fraught thing, for the city was raised upon land the forest never truly ceded. The Sylvaneth of the surrounding wargroves regard the settlers with ancient suspicion, and only careful treaties and mutual need keep axe and root-claw from open war.

Beyond that wary truce lies deadlier peril. The rot of Nurgle festers in the deep woods, and the free city's regiments march often into the green dark to burn back plague-orchards and daemon-haunted glades. Settler's Gain endures by balancing on a knife's edge between the mortal hunger to tame the wild and the forest's implacable will to reclaim its own, a bargain that could sour into ruin with a single broken oath.
