Town of Sisak	Crest of Sisak

Sisak is a small town in the Dragonspine mountains near the beginning of the Mountain River. Founded within the past century, Sisak primarily serves the small mining villages and individuals living nearby. While still small the town is quite prosperous with the largest and best transportation route to and from this section of the mountains, the Mountain River. Placed across the river near Sisak is a large chain that is well guarded 24 hours a day. While officially for the defense of the Empire from brigands and barbarians, this toll station gives a good revenue to the town and Count Reginald VonAssi.

Count VonAssi is an elderly goblin with graying green skin. The VonAssi family has served the Empire well for many generations in the Imperial guard and have recently been granted this land to build and develop. Until that time most of the county was wilderness and filled with bandits who raided the other counties. Count VonAssi and his family have reduced and nearly destroyed the remaining bandit groups working in the county.
