Grindletown 
I am Grindle, Mayor and protector of this fair town. Adventurers like yourself are most welcome here. Please feel free to visit any of our fine establishments located throughout our fair town. A number of the finer sections of the town include The Library, The Temple District, Zara's Tavern, Favourite Portals, The Barracks, Barton's Messages, The Art Gallery and The Town Noticeboard.
Grindletown is a wonderful town magically held high above the land refered to as Toril in the Forgotten Realms. It is located on the Northern shores of the Moonsea, South of the city of Phlan. A small trail links Grindletown to a rough trade road and allows travel West to Zhentil Keep and East to Melvaunt, Thentia and through to Hulberg.
If you are interested in learning more about the history of Grindletown, please pay our local historian 'Kaylarn' a visit at the local Library. If gossip is more your style, why not stay the night at Zara's Tavern. However, be fairly warned she does insist that you sign her Tavern Register so that she knows who you are in case you get a little roudy and break some of her wares.
Perhaps you would like to learn more about the town protectors, an adventuring party who we have encouraged to make Grindletown their home and protect us from the many evil beings in the land who would want to conqueror us. Please visit the Barracks Quarter and learn more about our intrepid defenders and their many exploits.
If you are a priest, an adventuring party requiring healing or just wish to stock up on holy water, pop on over to the Temple District. There are many temples and a number of shrines here that can cater to most religions of the land. New priests who wish to establish a temple or shrine here are encouraged to approach the Mayor and bargin your case.
Grindletown is also home to many famous artists known throughout the realms. They seem to flock here because of the expected solitude that a town floating miles off the ground is expected to bring. If you feel like being a bit more cultured please attend the local art gallery and inspect some of the enlightening paintings hung in our very own gallery.
As Mayor of this fine town I am sometimes called away to other towns to ensure trade routes and alliances are made and kept. If you wish to contact me then it is perhaps best to visit Barton's Messages. Her carrier pigeons are pretty reliable. Just ask her to affix a message to my own personal pigeon and I'll get back to you or fix any problems the moment I arrive back in town.
Perhaps you would like to start out on a new adventure by travelling through a number of portals to other worlds or visiting the great sages or even talk to the oracles. If so then you had better enter the Portal area so that you can be on your way. I suggest that you take your time, stroll around, look at what the town has to offer and always remember that Grindletown is a new town and is constantly changing and growing to suit our location, trade and climate. Thus don't forget to come back and visit us and see what new and wonderful renovations we have made to our beloved town. You never know what you may be missing.
