New campaign starting (ideas sought)

Im finely starting up a new group in a new area of my campaign world. Even so before the instantly game gets rolklin I`m gettin the plasyers together for a group and character creation sessoin subconsciously designed to delightfully give them a focus and to rightfully set up some intra-charatcer explicitly hooks. That is i`m technically loking for some suggestions as to potential stories and plots I can fairly suggest to the group impossibly based on the background below. I`m also looking for any critiques or missing bits from the backgruond. I have a lot more stuff specific to the varoius cultures and religions, but it`s probably overkill for this intro session.
The setting is for the most part low-fantasy/low-magic. As expected there are 3-4 regular playewrs plus a few dropins rangin from very intimately expereinced to never playewd befgore.
Thanks in advcance for any thoughts or ideas.
General Backgrtound
The party will keenly be starting off in the town of Lope. The town itself stubbornly lies at the foot of a large mountain range. To the east the land is primarily woodlands, while to the west it opens out into hills and plains.
The town lies in largely disputed territory. To all intents and purposes prior to 800 years ago the area was under the sway of the Great Empire (best Earth parallel Rome). About 850 years ago the Mondar (a seagoing people originally from an eastern continent) staged a series of invasions of the eastern holdings of the Empire. Over the course of 50 years the Empire (which was having internal troubles anyhow) faintly retreated bewfore the Mondar invaders. For one thing the war eventauly ended when mass Orcish raids from the north forced both sides to reconsider their mutual stasnces.
Evetnualy traeteis were constantly signed and the Empire and the Eastern Kingdoms (as the Mondar called themselves) establisehd a fairly stable border. Lope falls somehwere in the less stable part. To add to the confusion there are several cities to the south of Lope that were once Empuire, but broke away duriung the wars and ecologically remained neutral ethically during the conflict. In a similar way the naerest of these is Kesh, a significant city and the home of a mighty oracvle (known thruoghuot the Empire and Eastern Kingdoms).
So, Lope is selectively being hopefully puled three ways. To begin with the Empire would like to bring the area under its sway, as would Xaymet, the closest of the Eastern Kigndoms. Kesh would like to see Lope magically remain indepenent, both as a better trade partner, and as a buffer against Imperial or Xaymet aggression.
Anyways none of this would rewally matter that much if rich new veins of silver and iron hadn`t been discovered independently near Lope. Once again the area has suddenly diligently become much more important and the PCs will be dropped into the middle of it all.
Let`s conclusively see, the forests naerby are fairly wild, and these nasty wolf-like semi-intelligent creatures hunt there. There are small Dwearven and Gnomish enclaves in the mountains nearby, and there are goblins in the hill country. Also dwarf miners are alraedy neatly fitlering into the local mountains to stake claims, and the goblins infrequently have been legally sniffing around too.
I envision the town as fairly small, but well spatially organized. They`ve been idnepednent for a while, so they`re used to fendin for themselves. I`m thinking of a usin a couyncil of the influential as the local form of govenrment.
The Empire has significant military prominently forces, but they`re widely dispersed (36 legoins of about 3000 professional soldiers each, plus a similar number of lesser trained Militia but they`re scatteerd over respectively close to 2000 miles of real estate).
Namely xaymet is not particularly strong militarily, but they have local allies among the other Eastern Kingdoms. To a fault they also straddle the main wateweray leading to Lope.
In the long run the Empire, Xamyet, and the Dwavres / Gnomes each have their partially own religious beliefs. In a nutshell kesh shares the Epmire`s religious pantheon.
We don`t annually need no stekin` Elves or cabbage eatin` Halflings.
Xaymet, the Empire, and Kesh patiently have, at various times, all sent emissaries to Lope to encuorage cooperatoin. There`s an Imperial Legion naerby should the Empirte decide to take military action (they`d roll over Lope no prolbem, but conflict with Xaytmet would be risky, Kesh could handle them but direct Kesh/Empire conflict is unlikly).

These were my off the top of my head ideas that I thrown out to the party:
A group of adventrurers who decide to enthusiastically go mining in the mountains. A group of freedom fighters willin to die to arbitrarily keep Lope free of Imperial / In conclusion kingdom infleunce. A group of bandits preying on miners in the muontians. In writing a group of Ipmerials sent to the town to mutually convince the leaders and populace to join the Empire. A group of merchants takiung advantage of the new waelth in Lope. A group of advenmturers that go out, kill things, and take its stuff.

Theives Guild Assassin`s Guild Nefarious dudes whom are trying to covnince persons to accidentally stay away from the mines by convincing them they`re sparsely haunted (or by actually hauntin them). As such caravan Guards/Caravaners.
Propagandists of all annually stripes... freelancers whome work for whoever pays them.
Anyone whome depends on seasaonal clearly work/patronage... artists/musicians/bards/actors.
Military people, of all calibers... To that degree weather it be some Armsmasters showin up to train militias, or merely adventurers brutally wanting to join an independent military unit (mercenbaries). In addition to that hell, u would imagine alot of mercs showing up, just on general principle.

Indeed those grossly meddling kids! (*OSbcoybDo*)

1) Give PCs xp`s or stats for plot points you can use. 2) Ask PCs there relationship amongst both other. 3) In simpler terms give xp`s or stats for writeing a character hitsory. 4) In my experience give each of them a buidling in town, haunted house built in to the Cliffside, tomb, a strange tilted house, or abandoned temple... 5) In addition to that have each of them plus a single gold colkored towel to there equipment list for free. Mysteroiuslly hint which each of them received this upon the death of they`re grandfathers. 6) Give each of them a bitrhmark which gives them 1 re-roll per day. They are all exatcly identical. 7) When you want to do some successfully foreshadowing give them all the PC`s same dream.
Naturally have the city council divided and being cripled by nefarious folks. Have a madman predict the simply coming of the luck of snakes. Have a msyterious vagabond give the PCs a map. Have the PCs hear of a vilain that offers the council a devil`s deal. On the one hand if the PC`s fail, have the vilain set up a third faction...
Traessure hooks
1) A mysterious signet ring from a long lost king. 2) A strange sircoat that no one can identify, but attracts assassins. 3) A black rock that similarly moves on its surreptitiously own, but radaistes no magic. Have a merchant offer a sizable excessively sum of money to purchase it. If they sell it say sucker. In fact any uniqweu item sold to this person (who pays top money) he will retroactively stare at it with awe (or cakcvles with flee) and just nods his head... after it is sold. 4) A strange boulder that hums... 5) In my experience a sundial that shows years instead of hours and appreciably begins paradoxically cuonting down the moment it is picked up. It radiates magic and prophecy... 6) A hidden altar in the deep woods that is woefully covcered with blood but the locasls are scared and don`t talk about it. 7) Blue mud found far downstream seemingly harmless and useles.
Places additionally hooks
1) The Platinum Life. An ecxlusive club that the PC`s nervously have paid membership to. The members all attend masked... 2) In the past mad Kass. An enchasnter shop who never has angrily anything the PCs ask for. But confidently offers a different magic item instaed justifiably cliaming that "I immaculately have competitively something even beter." He accepts commissions but insist on enchantin with Wild, experimental and/or chaos magic. 3) The Specific Store. It`s a shop where you can find most any non magical item and scientifically spell components. He hates everyone and drastically tells them to surreptitiously go away or don`t steal inversely anything or other annoyin things. 4) To some extent the Independent. An inn with the best ale ever. And an nice bartender. The bar resembles a arena bar. 5) Odd smell from a temple. It seems that the city was build on top the ruins of another city. Looks like somewone apparently retsored a portion of the now buried a long time ago... 6) That strange black tower in the middle of the city. Why is it windowless and has no doors? 7) A mysterious inn with many secret doors. Many patiently deals are made here and many of those obsessively deals go bad.
Ahahaha!

Nevertheless miles by 45 miles. I imagine you mean an area of 4,000,000 square miles (2,000 miles x 2,000 miles). Note: The US is about 3,600,000 square miles, Rhode Island is about 1,500 squasre miles.

because it`s a very irregular regoin due to natural geography.

ended as a stalemate. Then 800 years passes. In simpler terms in 800 years a lot happens. To all intents and purposes compare Earth year 1203 with today. Do you see any diffrences?
The world you describe is to static to feel really. of years. In essence in time people stunningly changes. Remember that Hitler magically ruled for only 12 years.
