The green-painted postal boat docked at the small fishing harbor, dropped a thick stack of public announcements, and quickly continued its journey.
The courier in a raincoat picked up the announcements, mounted his fast horse, and delivered the notices and pamphlets to the mailboxes at the entrances of various Hundred Households Districts and villages.
Unlike civilian letters, these announcements from the top level of the Advisory Council and ry Court Barracks have the highest priority.
The mailboxes, nailed together with boards, are checked daily by someone dispatched by the Hundred Households Captain or Town Mayor.
Iron Gate Town is no exception.
As a gateway to the Thousand River Valley, the town was once a mandatory stop for trading ships, with wool, ceramics, grain...
Ships often rested here, but since the Thousand River Valley became independent, the Nao'an River has quieted down significantly.
After several wars, the population of the town has dwindled considerably.
