Formerly known as the city of Longbridge, recent tumult has reformed it in dramatic ways. Under the Reeve of Longbridge, the people suffered, and with no answer from the King came all-out rebellion.
Longbridge was the earliest community to feel the wrath of dragons. And with the destruction of the bridge, so important to commerce, the spark was lit. Under the guidance of a very powerful leader, the halfling Rosco Twiddletoe, unrest fomented like fire and spread. The northern bank of the river organized quickly, and with the help of allied Spearfolk, the north bank began building a low wall and harassing the south bank with spellfire and arrows.
The cruel and out-of-touch Bannon Bowsprit appealed to the crown for help, but Glimring had problems of its own. So, Bowsprit fought a brief and losing battle before being driven out of the city forever. His former manor now houses certain noble families that fled Glimring, who pledge their fortunes to rebuild the city.
Although Union is doing its best to return to some normalcy, there are still signs of the conflict near the river, with several buildings remaining in ruins. Rosco Twiddletoe is the current provisional mayor, and the city considers itself independent, but no one is certain what will happen if the Lord High Commander decides to press west. For now, though, the city is orderly, patrolled by citizen-soldiers and a mix of members of the noble retinues that remained.
