RPG Setting a Day - Day 4

The fourth day, treasure, gets me to consider what might lie in the region and, more specifically, Nimrod's fortress.

Fantastic Galilee’s greatest treasure, much like real world Galilee, is the fertile land. Farther north and the clouds don’t reach, further south and the desert intermingles. But it is not the only treasure.

In Nimrod’s coffers are collected magical items and piles of coin. Between taxes and successful conquests, Nimrod’s faction are exceedingly wealthy.
Further, deep below the fortress, lies a magical spring filling a pond with healing water. Around the pond grow herbs which absorb this quality and have become a staple in Nimrod’s mess hall, where his own warriors, rather than the mercenaries, are fed.

After some thought, I settled on combining fact - the fertile land - with the fiction that helped Nimrod establish such a long rule. He heard of and uncovered the spring, allowing his forces to bounce back from any fight far quicker than his enemies could.

And again, have some more tone setting.
