Varcusia is a growing village, as more people are borne and stay within the city's walls. Due to ever-increasing monster attacks, very few people ever leave Varcusia, save when the regular caravans leave. As such, the city is rather crowded, and prices of regular day-to-day expenses are rising, while travelling gear is bought less and less.
Up until now, the two dozen trained soldiers were strong enough to fight off the occasional monster attack. But recently, monsters have been growing more and more aggressive, and more soldiers have been appointed into an impromptu second, third and fourth battle groups. They are un trained as of yet, but they have heart.
Varcusia, like most villages, has all the features one would expect, from a secretive wizarding guild, several temples to various deities, even a small offshoot of the Thieves' Guild. (Of course, that one is difficult to find!) There are weapon shops, inns, taverns, gambling dens, a hospital (D&D equivalent, that is!), smithies, and all manner of other businesses. As well as those that are best left unnamed. There are also numerous homes, clustered close together due to the difficulty in expanding the city's borders.
