Oxford was the capital of the county of Wiltshire.
An outsider once said: "Socially, Oxford has been described as "pretty inactive and aloof", with the residents "rarely visiting the taverns". This isn't surprising, given the small population." He was wrong.
Oxford is a fair town, nestled among the trees, in the very heart of England. A town untroubled by wasps, for the want of an orchard; free of flies, for a lack of fish; yet well catered for with boats – though it only has the dreamy River Isis to punt on. The residents are expert foresters, fine stone cutters and brew some excellent ales and beers.
Location[]
Oxford is the northern-most town of Wiltshire. Roads lead north to Evesham, south-west to Marlborough and south-east to Reading.

Religion[]
The patron saint of Oxford is Fitzchivalry - whose mummified remains can be seen at the church. Fitzchivalry was the second of three priests to die in mysterious circumstances.
The town's alternative religious affairs are apparently run by the local witch, who may be found in the tavern. Beware low-flying barstools.
