Once a small town, Delmunster barely qualifies now as a hamlet, with only a sparse three or four handfuls of surviving families and a nominal picket force of the Falkovnian army. The people there eke out a passing existence on the still-fertile farmlands, ever paranoid of a return of the plants that devastated the towns, but either unwilling or unable to move on.[1]
The army there maintains their duties, but largely leaves the people to their own devices - the officers are not well-motivated as it is regarded as the posting given to those with no standing or status, those the army wishes forgotten. Beyond recording the comings and goings, and maintaining the records, they police little. This has had two attendant effects: firstly, the Church of Ezra has come to preach here largely without interference, so it has gained a larger foothold than it has in the rest of the country. Secondly, it has essentially become the containment area for those foreigners so unwise as to wish to settle in Falkovnia; they are given no quarters or accomodation for permanent residence elsewhere.[1]
There current post of the Stadtfuhrer remains open at present, the slain previous family was never replaced by Drakov. In their stead, Wachekapitan Williswinda Waldron has effective rule of the hamlet. Most in the hamlet fear her, or at least her attention: she is no less gentle in her punishments than any other Falkovnian, and as one of the highest ranked women in the army, she considers that she has a reputation to protect. In truth she has little care for the hamlet beyond protecting what of a reputation she can be said to have: she regards the posting just the same as most of the army.[1]
