	The City of Wydmoor has been an autonomously governed city-state since it was occupied in {{year\|701}} by Ubrekti heretics during the disunity of the [[Third Interregnum]], who cleared much of the swamp and quickly picked up productive agriculture. When besieged by the forces of [[Odriss Rockheart]] several years later, the city was already able to hold out the six years it took Rockheart and the heretics to truce. The leader of the heretics renounced the heresy and accepted the Hadriarchy of Wydmoor Free City. In {{year\|712}}, when Rockheart assumed the Arch-Wardenship, he granted Wydmoor its autonomy in recognition of its support.

	Wymoor Free City is an independent city-state located at the meeting-point of [[Ubrekt]], [[Odessa]], and [[Alexia]].

	~~==Political Structure==~~		Shortly before winter in 1401 [[FI]], the Odessan army assaulted main city, breached the walls, and razed everything except for the Cathedral. It is presently abandoned.
	~~The city is governed by a [[Mayor of Wydmoor\|mayor]], who is one of two officials elected by a yearly popular vote. The office is currently held by~~ [[~~Calvis Wydsomme~~]], ~~a well-connected and powerful figure who is~~ the ~~patriarch of one of the powerful [[First Families of Wydmoor]]. Wydmoor law and order is provided by the [[Wydmoor City Guard\|~~city ~~guard]]~~, ~~which is run by~~ the ~~second elected official~~, ~~the [[Sheriff of Wydmoor\|sheriff]]. The current sheriff is [[Edrell Odenthorpe]], a relative newcomer to the city who has caused some commotion with his surprising election.~~

	~~The [[Hadriarch of Wydmoor]] is a powerful figure as well. The centuries long pilgrimage trade has financed the construction of a great cathedral~~ and ~~helps maintain the city's defense force, provided by~~ the ~~[[Bog Wraiths]], a mercenary company that operates out of [[Castle Wydmoor]]~~. It ~~also helps pay for the [[Wydmoor Town Magius\|Town Magius]], usually hired from one of the great [[University\|Universities]].~~
	~~The walled section of the city~~ is ~~about 8 square miles, along with another several miles of tightly regulated urban space outside of Wydmoor Castle and the river harbor~~. Another 15 miles to the north and south of the city are dedicated to intensive agriculture, most of which is retained by the government for a harvest cycle (in reserve for siege) before being distributed among the citizens and sold for profit.

	~~==Diplomatic Relationships==~~
	Since the swamp effectively prevents access to Alexia, and the Bloodmane hills make travel to Odessa difficult, Wydmoor Free City is primarily influenced by Ubrekt to the south. While its autonomy assures an unusually diverse population, Ubrekti is by far the most common heritage, and at least three quarters claim current or ancestral Ubrekti ties. However, the past two decades have seen a large influx of Alexian refugees fleeing the famine and war of their homeland.

	~~There's an old Ubrekt saying: "What happens in Wydmoor Free City..."~~

	~~"...will nevertheless lighten your purse."~~
