History

Timberfrost started with the Frost family. They set up a meager homestead, felling trees from the Hjarta Forest to build their home. With the construction of their home completed, Skaldi Frost started construction on a mill. Intending to provide for him family by owning and operating a mill to provide timber to the surrounding area, he named the mill after the river it used to power its saw. As time went on, folke came to the mill and seeing the beautiful landscape decided to stay, growing the town.

After a few generations, the Lodebrooke family moved to town, Tharden Lodebroooke to a job at the mill. After a few years working the mill, he sought out Halvar Frost for a discussion. Proposing that the mill could make more coin if they were to open a second mill, in turn doubling their production. Convincing Halvar that this second mill was a good idea, and that he should be trusted to run the second mill, Tharden Lodebrooke set about building a second mill.
In accordance with their agreement Tharden Lodebrooke took control of running the second mine. Slowly over time people started referring to it as the Lodebrooke Mill, not realizing that it was a part of the Stimgtar Mill. Assunimg instead that they were rival companies, patrons of one started trying to get one to undercut the other. As time went on the two mills evolved into separate entities each owned by theire respective families.
In 703 FOS the town was annexed into the Kingdom of Nyrenthia in a peaceful transaction. They continued providing lumber to the kingdom and enjoying the protections that provided.

Architecture

The majority of building are constructed from timber provided by the mill and stone.
