Page 1 - A brief history
It wasn't so long ago that Burthorpe lacked a leader of any sort and functioned on a local level. The decrease in troll activity resulted in large portions of the military being put on standby and life returned to normal. The arrival of the Andromeda conglomerate changed that, as the heir to the conglomerate, Steven Andromeda, sought to rule over the land in the absence of a leader. This prompted Zachary Moore, a well-known local, to step up in opposition. An election was set to be held for the title of lordship in the dual lands of Burthorpe and Taverly. Lacking the funds of his corporate counterpart, Zachary sought the aid of two wealthy entrpreneurs; John Jones of the Bounty Hunters United and Derrick Valus of Valus industries.
Their combined support lead to a victory for Moore, and a lordship was formed. The Bounty Hunters United and Valus industries both received tax breaks and set up for business in Burthorpe. With them came a massive influx in weapon and raw material demand, and so the market of Burthorpe and Taverly flourished nearly overnight. In addition to supplying weapons for the Kandarin war machine, Burthorpe now provided armaments for the Bounty Hunters United. Investors and businessmen the world over made their way to Burthorpe to take part in this new and exciting market.
Fortunes can be made or lost in a day here in Burthorpe. Thieves, Bounty Hunters, and businessmen play a dangerous game of rock paper scissors here, and business interests sometimes take the place of morality. However, if you can play the game - and play it well - you can rise to the top. That's life in Burthorpe. ¸¤·.¸.·¤´˜¨Live and let Die¨˜´¤·.¸.·¤¸
