Local Sentiment vs. The Outside World

Berwick-upon-Tweed is fiercely independent and belongs truly to itself—it is neither fully England nor Scotland. It is a bustling international trade port and the townspeople are accustomed to hearing different languages and seeing foreign merchants at the docks.

However, Berwick is a deeply suspicious town. Acceptance doesn't depend on where you were born, but on who you are and what you want. If you are here to trade, work, or mind your business, you can find a place. If you are here to enforce the whims of distant crowns, expect a cold shoulder.
