Maria brought a countless array of songs that were new to the people of Seawell. Between his earnings as a tradesman and hers as a popular musician, the Athertons make a decent income and are able to help others financially as needed. This has stoked tension with some members of the Stone family for making them look bad, but all three wealthy families in town try to keep things cordial and not get into fights, so they try to keep such comments to themselves.

	The lighthouse was built by Tiberius Stone in ancient times. It stands at 100 ft tall and is a beautiful work of black and gray stone, built before the standard red-and-white pattern became [[common]]. Some fires have damaged the structure over the years, but the city has repaired and maintained it well for generations, maybe even centuries. The cornerstone marking the year it was built has since faded away, but most scholars believe it was built in the first century PR, presumably as shipping became safer after [[Tiamat]] was banished.

	Surnames were far from universal in the area at that time, but Tiberius Stone was one of the first prominent stone masons in the region, so he received the moniker "Stone" for his skill with the material. His wife Corrina Lonato was a shipwright and sailor who set out to trade with other regions in the decades of relative peace following the long war. In those times, Seawell's main exports were stone from their local quarries, as well as staple foods like wheat and barley, so those made up most of the ship's cargo. To ensure a safe return for her, Tiberius built a lighthouse himself, working all day every day for a year, which was just enough time for Corrina to return safely from her voyage with oranges, spices, and preserved meats new to the area.

	House Lonato has had much grief over the centuries. Near the founding of the city, a powerful mage named Claudia Lonato lost her son to spiders when he ventured into [[the Spider Swamps]] for wood to repair a ship. Grieved, Claudia learned to control the weather in the three [[miles]] around the city, clearing much of the swamp for its current farmland. The city's residents were unanimously grateful, making her family the feudal lords.		House Lonato has had much grief over the centuries.

	Splitting from House Lonato a few generations ago, the Bluth family had some money to invest into various business ventures, especially construction and real estate. Through various shady deals with the mayors, some comedic timing, and extreme luck, the Bluths happened to acquire about a third of the land in the Seawell region by the start of the [[Within the Wicked Wilds\|Wicked Wilds]] [[campaign]]. Rent has increased dramatically over the last few decades, leading to poverty and many orphans. However, they have recently begun falling from grace as David Bluth, longtime head of the family company, was embroiled in scandal for making deals with cruel nobles in enemy regions against the mayor's approval.

	David has been held in the local jail since the scandal broke last year, and officially control has been passed down to his children: Mark, Bob, and Suzie. However, Suzie has left the family to forge her own identity, and Bob (Billiam Omar Bluth) is irresponsible, so it has fallen on Mark to try to hold the company and family together.

			== Local Holidays: Cinco de Orbraze and Cinco de Cuatro ==
			The exact year the construction of the Lighthouse was completed is uncertain, but everyone in Seawell agrees it was completed on the 5th day of Orbraze, the fifth month of the year on the [[Quelmar Calendar]]. The city has a festival every year on that date to celebrate the success of the city - with the completion of the Lighthouse, Seawell was no longer a remote sandbar for marooned sailors, but a stable city in its own right. In an ancient dialect of Draconic, which many of the first marooned sailors in the city spoke, Cinco was the word for "five," so this holiday took the name, even though most residents primarily speak in Common now, or at least more modern dialects of Draconic.

			Cinco de Orbraze had festive celebrations with colorful costumes, flavorful food from each culture that had arrived to Seawell over the centuries, and a variety of beverages. The city square would be decorated with bright colorful lights in honor of the Lighthouse that had brought the city fortune. Basically everyone enjoyed it and looked forward to it all year. Though there were exceptions:

			Recently, the Bluth family wanted to develop more land, but the once-mostly empty farmland surrounding downtown was getting more and more crowded, and there were no powerful mages to clear wide swaths of swampland anymore as Claudia Lonato had in ancient times. Lucretia Bluth turned her sights on the Town Square itself for future luxury apartments. To clear people off of the square, she would need to reduce the people's excitement for Cinco de Orbraze. Thirty years prior to the start of The Wicked Wilds, Lucretia held the first annual Cinco de Cuatro event, the day before Cinco de Orbraze, in an attempt to buy all the food and decorations so there wouldn't be any left for the traditional holiday.

			This backfired spectacularly however, as people then had two days to celebrate! Mages from the community college were able to craft more decorations, and a fleet of ships carrying food happened to crash ashore that day, bringing so much food it couldn't possibly be eaten in one day.

			And how many ships were in that fleet on the fourth day of the month? Four, and the main vessel was coincidentally named The Cuatro. Thus, Cinco de Cuatro, sometimes called Sinko de Cuatro, was born, commemorating when hundreds more sailors arrived in town, carrying a wonderful feast for all to enjoy.

	During the plague 10 years ago, soon after the passing of his wife Trisha, an orphan broke into his manor. While still grieving, the baron caught him. The boy's name was Ashe, and instead of turning him over to the city guard, he decided to adopt him and raise him as his own son as a younger brother to Cristophe.		During the plague 10 years ago, soon after the passing of his wife Trisha, an orphan broke into his manor. While still grieving, the baron caught him. The boy's name was Ashe, and instead of turning him over to the city guard, he decided to adopt him and raise him as his own son as a younger brother to Cristophe.

			Because of the pain of losing his son, Lord Lonato extended the ban on the death penalty in Seawell, much to the annoyance of certain other nobles.

			House Lonato has had much grief over the centuries. Near the founding of the city, a powerful mage named Claudia Lonato lost her son to spiders when he ventured into the Spider Swamps for wood to repair a ship. Grieved, Claudia learned to control the weather in the three miles around the city, clearing much of the swamp for its current farmland. The city's residents were unanimously grateful, making her family the feudal lords.

	Recently winning election to a sixth term, Matthias Stone has been Mayor of Seawell for over twenty years. While Seawell is officially democratic, eight of the last ten mayors have been part of House Stone, as they own and operate the Port of Seawell. Like the last few Stone mayors, Matthias has changed little, but kept a positive enough image to not be defeated like some of his ancestors. While there have been rumors that he is actually corrupt, news of this has generally been suppressed as he is popular in town, especially with those with influence and the port workers, one of the rare groups who actually get a decent wage.

			'''Stonebucks Cafe'''

			Matthias Stone also founded Stonebucks Cafe about 30 years ago, when coffee was successfully harvested in the Spider Swamps. It quickly caught on with the nobility, and with tired workers alike, opening several locations in the relatively small city. A few locations even exist in Galik by the time Ren joined the Tempest Brothers. Matthias used his profits to fund his campaign for mayor and cover up any political scandals.

			Occasionally new types of coffee beans arrive in the city as different ships are stuck there.

			Though the coffee is delicious, rumors swirl about the labor conditions therein...
