Town

A Town is a type of staging area that includes NPCs who offer a full set of services (e.g. Merchants and Henchmen).

Regions rarely have more than one town and some do not have any (e.g. Ring of Fire Islands). Towns tend to supply local color, such as NPCs who don't serve a specific game function but offer history, gossip, or trivia related to the area.

When the game specifies that something works while in town, it also works in outposts.
