New Campaign Timber Bay is a small shipping port, bordering farms and booming lumbering interests. It trades with other sea ports and the strongholds nearby ... providing dock access, etc, for a nominal fee. Other strongholds in the area are Ares, the Fighter's Guild Stronghold, The Dwarven Mines, the Elven Village, and the farming community of Walnut Grove. The druids in the area are displeased with the lumbering, though partially placated by replanting agreements. (See below for More Details on Communities) Timber Bay maintains a 5% trade tax of all goods passing through their city. This money is used by the town to maintain security, roads, and the public docks among other things. There is also a 5% sales tax, with the exception of food. This tax is paid by the merchants and included in the pricing. Commercial buildings within the town also pay an annual 1% property tax (farms are NOT included as commercial buildings).
