Inipi (Eh Nee Pee)
Small and old though it may be but well oiled machine of a town. Each trade (leather smiths, apothecary, farmers/ranchers, fishermen, brewery, story weavers, and gem trade) light the council fires which dictate the rules of this town. It is a hub of the north, and is very welcoming to guests. Few though there are, all are welcome here. Most that do pass through this area are other Hill Giants who live in the hills to the south. The trek is made here often in the spring, when the land breathes new life. The tradition is call Owasee. For 5 weeks of the year, we celebrate life and share ideas, but most importantly stories. Story weavers are seen as celebrities here, as their stories get repeated as a way to pass the time during the cold months.
Demographics
Primarily trapper trader giants.
Government
Small council of traders that set the rules for the town. 7 total.
Defences
Natural frozen wasteland of flat rolling hills, making it both undesirable and easy to spot intruders.
Industry & Trade
Fur, meat, farm, and hand made trinkets and tools.
Infrastructure
Little better than huts, tents, and cabins. This town doesn't have much, but a natural geothermal vent that comes up at the riverside and creates a natural warm spring which keeps the town warmer than it's frigged surrounding area.
Districts
Trade district, the springs district

History
Founded by hill giants escaping from an especially vicious blizzard found refuge here some 2000 years ago. It is said that those who come here find healing and renewed vigor in defense of the unforgiving frozen hillscape. 7 independent trades have established here and created the council of the 7. They consist of leather smiths, apothecary, farmers, ranchers, brewery, story weavers, and gem trade.
Points of interest
Small collection of trading posts, each with their own specialty of hand crafted goods. Any crazy enough to brave the frozen Hill country end up passing through here on their way to anywhere else but here. Not many locals, though some interesting passerby's have been spotted. All are welcomed by the inhabitants of the small town as they bring trade by way of stories and trinkets or perhaps tools! Stories are somewhat of a novelty here, and can be often traded at the hot springs.
Tourism
None.
Geography
Rolling plains and hills spread in all directions, from horizon with the distant sea to the east, and far off into the distance toward the south, north, and west.
Climate
year round it never gets above 40 degrees F often.
Natural Resources
Gemstones form the river, nothing special. Decent farmland to those who can grow the winter barley and wheat required for surviving this climate. Some OX and Bison and Yak which make our food and clothes.
