The town’s main administrative building is a modest two-storey stone building near the Old Ward Plaza, where Mayor Ingram Warden holds council sessions and handles official correspondence. More often than not the door is unlocked, and Warden can be found inside reviewing maps or correspondence — a former cartographer and traveller whose easier relationship with outsiders comes from having once been one himself.
The Town Hall handles the town’s practical business: registering new businesses, processing the purchase of land, homes, or property, and offering direct communication with the mayor and Morain’s faction representatives.
Services:
- Register businesses
- Purchase of land, home, or property
- Direct communication with the mayor and faction representatives in town

Notes
- Description expanded using Town Morain Old Ward and Town Morain Notable People, which cover this building and Mayor Warden in more detail than the original draft notes.
- Property and premises-rental pricing sourced from Property and Business; business registration filing fees aren’t specified anywhere in the vault and are left at GM discretion.
- Property and Business notes that property is acquired through faction brokers (Dragon Logistics, Dwarves Union) — consistent with Town Hall’s own role providing “direct communication with the mayor and faction representatives in town.”
- Property and Business also covers wage/lifestyle costs and production income for running an established business once registered, if that level of detail is ever needed at the table.
