tippering

established in 1694 as a safe haven town for magic users, tippering is a scenic small town (at last count, tippering was home to about 4,800 residents) located in the lake district.

the west border of the town is home to sprawling woods, the inhabitants of which are the subject of many a local folktale. local children learn from a fairly young age that you should not wander around too long after dark!
noteworthy businesses

some of the better known businesses in town include:

alderwood cinema is the town's local cinema. although small, they get a fair mix of current blockbusters as well as more independent films. once a month, they host late night weekend showings of old classic films.

cromwell apothecary is a centuries old shoppe specializing in medicinal potions and elixirs, with an additional focus on growth magic, primarily used for gardens and farming. owned and operated by @cromwells and his npc family.

forrest theatre is a performing arts venue. the forrest puts on a play or musical twice a season, and both the tippering philharmonic and the tippering ballet also use the venue for their performances.

fox and thistle is a cocktail bar - though the term is used somewhat loosely here! a bit more upscale than the handful of local pubs, they're ultimately still a cosy place to spend a late night. their imaginative drinks menu uses locally sourced ingredients and liquors.
hester's book nook, commonly just referred to as hester's, is the local bookstore. they are also host 'local talent' nights, where local writers are welcome to share readings from their own stories, poems, etc.

morthwaite hill market is an open air public market that showcases local farmers and artisans. vendors are able to rent out booths for a set amount of time, ensuring variety from season to season, and it's usually quite packed on the weekends.

oulwood library is tippering's public library, nestled in a small historic home. they are host to multiple town book clubs, and offer a wide variety of free game and craft nights each month.

woodhull house museum is a historic house museum that's haunted by one of the original residents, a warlock named theo woodhull, who very much enjoys giving the occasional guided tour! the tippering historical society's office is located here, as well.
