Introduction

Urr is a wondrous and vibrant place, founded some 400 years ago by merchants from Yendor at a joining of rivers, carving through fertile valleys:  Geography of Urr

Because of its location, it is at a natural cross roads of caravan routes. Over the years, the city has become wealthy. Origingally, the population of Urr were only humans. Three Dwarven races, however, lived on (or rather in) nearby mountains and hills. They call themselves the Longbeards, Redbeards and Gnomes. Some of the Redbeards have even migrated into the soutwest part of the city and earn their living as masons, smiths and craftsmen.

Several nomadic tribes, who call themselves the Free Folk also live in the valleys and some of them have settled in the (somewhat poorer) eastern quarter. In the north eastern valley, there are several deep woods, where the Elven king rules.

The wellfare of the City and Vales of Urr has also reached the ears of the Dark Emperor, who has decided that Urr should become part of the Empire. He has granted his son, the Dark Prince, heir apparent to the throne of Darkness, a part of the treasury to acquire mercenaries, equipment, supplies, etc. to mount a campaign against Urr and conquer it. Moreover, he has added a team of experts, some of which are magic users, to support the Dark Prince. Words of this coming invasion has not yet reached the city.

So the stage is set for a clash between the Urr, its potential allies and the Dark Empire and its potential allies. This clash will soon become a siege in a D & D like fantasy setting, where both sides may (and will) use magic and both sides will try to get the other peoples in the vales and mountains at their side.
