Madeira
Madeira is nestled in a coastal valley between two looming cliffs. To the west, the cliffside rises to meet a well-cared-for graveyard. To the east, a fantastic feat of engineering draws the eye—the trestle supporting a wooden loading chute extends down from the clifftop to a loading platform built into the harbor. This ingenious construction swiftly delivers stone processed further inland at the quarry to waiting ships below.
The people of Madeira are friendly and welcoming for the most part, although they tend to react with reticence toward those they suspect hail from Alesaro. Trade with Alesaro is important, but the townsfolk are proud and feel no need to accommodate visiting “city folk.” People in Madeira typically subsist on fish along with vegetables from local farms (primarily potatoes, carrots, and other root vegetables), but more unusual fare isn’t hard to get from Alesaro. Coffee is a mainstay and a favorite drink of the hardworking and early-rising residents.
