Quick Information:
While it might seem odd to have a page on, what is essentially, an
"official" town, the Baronship of Cove, the guild occupying the
surrounding area, have set up quite the community around the small peninsula
north of the walled village. The Barony gives home to various different peoples,
from peasants and commoners, to the army men of of the Baronship, to the Baron
of Cove himself.

North of the walled village of
Cove, in the peninsula that overlooks the sea, a small collection of buildings,
including a large stone keep that is the Barracks of the Baronship of Cove and
several small plaster houses surrounding the forest, is the Barony of Cove.
Ruled over by the Baron, the Barony holds several amazing house designs, though
for the purposes of this article I have narrowed it down to two, exceptionally
intricate, designs - The Barracks and the Folk Tale House (The local
Tavern)
I was given a quick tour of
the Barracks by one of the guardsmen, who wishes to remain anonymous. He first
showed me the downstairs tavern, less popular than the Folk Tale House though
occasionally crowded nonetheless, then upstairs to a section that, I was told,
was used for the administration of the Baronship. Several chests were lain up
against the wall, and piles of the riches were stacked in the corner and a
lovely carved wooden warrior statue was standing in the hall. I was also treated
to a swift glance of a meeting that the Baron used for meetings, though my
glance was short, it was a beautiful room. Upstairs once again, I was led, to an
arena used by the Baronship for parade ceremonies and combat training.
The next establishment that
captured my interest was the Folk Tale House, one of the most popular taverns of
the surrounding area. Similar in decoration to the Swagger's Inn of Vesper, I
was delighted to enjoy a goblet of their finest wine amongst the company of the
local guardsmen. A large stone hearth at the back of the room gives off a warm
glow when you are enjoying a quick pick me up or meal, and games of darts are
common on certain days. A variety of people attend the Tavern on a regular
basis, so whenever you pop in, you're bound to meet a new friend.
