Inhabitants
The people of Ipswich are just and kind to visitors, and offer some of the finest wares in the Kingdom. The Ipswichian motto is: Ut Defendo Dominus Nostre, which means "To Defend Our Lord", this applies to the townsfolk of Ipswich and all refugees seeking shelter in the town.
The council consists of Morlo & Wywern (Richard Bearpaw), two very skilled diplomats. The council families have been in Ipswich since the old days when the town was founded and are very respected.

History
The Thanedom of Ipswich was founded about 300 years ago by a group of settlers from one of the greater cities of Mercia whom decided to walk their own path. Ipswich is since long occupied by the people of old Mercia, and now Hyperion. The city and its land is a refuge for all people seeking a new start. Ipswich is currently led by Sir Lionel Kendis of Ipswich, sworn to follow the Duke of Wessex. Lionel, in accordance with his Oath of Fealty, protects his people and the Duke in return for his land. The town is run by the Thane, Sir Lionel but he has his council in the castle.
