Arrowton

Arrowton is a major town and castle in eastern Aurelia, ruled by a lesser branch of House Carlysle. Its current leadership rests on Lord Marwyn Cove and Lady Kathryn Carlysle-Cove.

Geography
The town is located close to the border of Aurelia and the Coasts, at the confluence of the Bow, Nocke, and Drawe rivers. Arrowton is south of Castle Rho and Clyffeton and east of the Capital. The Southern Way ends at Arrowton and runs all the way to Fallhorn's Peak. The Ocean's Way runs from Arrowton to Castle Rho.

Description
The town is ruled from a small castle beside the river. This seat has been granted to a younger sibling or a cousin of the Carlysle king for two centuries. The walls are a red-brownish colour and the streets run mostly straight and are covered with cobblestones. Arrowton is about the size of Castle Rho, only a little smaller.

The town is built mostly on the eastern side of the confluence, but small bridges were built to connect some farms beside the rivers Nocke or Drawe to the town.

History
Before the coming of Aurelius, the Bow was inhabited by groups of hunters and people who lived off of nature. They settled in the Mountains of the Shooting Star and beside the river mostly, and thus their capital Arrowton grew. It was one of the busiest trading hubs in all of Scaeptre at the time, close behind Westwatch and Fallhorn's Peak. They appointed a new leader themselves when their last leader died, and thus it was one of the best ruled towns in the continent.

When Aurelius conquered Scaeptre, he appointed the rule of the Bow and Arrowton to House Deepwood, who ruled during many centuries. However, they sided completely with Emperor Atticus against King Tyran, so when the war was over, Tyran granted them a new seat in the Bow and claimed Arrowton for his own family, so his younger sibling could rule a mighty castle and truly establish House Carlysle as rulers in Scaeptre.

After Outbreak Battle during the Second Braeden Rebellion in 72 A.K., Lord Gavyn Braeden marched further east to the Bow and conquered it. He gained supplies and ships from Troye Carlysle and sailed back to his city. Later, King Janyn sent his best man Luis Anthony to deal with the second rebels Troye and his son James. He killed Troye, but James escaped.
