Skrattafell is a village steeped in the enchantment of its surroundings. Lush forests, adorned with ancient pines and birches, cloak the slopes of the mountains that stand sentinel over the settlement. The trees sway with the whispering winds, their leaves shimmering in hues of emerald and gold, creating a mesmerizing symphony of colors. Streams cascade down the slopes, their crystalline waters weaving through the village, offering a source of sustenance and a soothing melody that resonates throughout Skrattafell.
Perched on the slopes and nestled within the verdant canopy, the village itself exudes a disinterested aura. The town is centered on wooden longhouse, the steep roof laden with thick thatch, stands out on the landscape, seamlessly blending with the natural surroundings. Sturdy stone paths wind through the village, connecting the various dwellings and communal spaces. The air is imbued with the scent of burning hearth fires, the warmth of which contrasts with the cool mountain breeze.
At the center of Skrattafell, the jarl's hall stands proudly, a testament to both strength and tradition. Constructed from timber and stone, adorned with intricate carvings that tell the tales of the village's history, the hall serves as the heart of Skrattafell. It is a place of assembly, celebration, and governance, where the jarl makes decisions that shape the destiny of the community.
Surrounded by the untamed wilderness, Skrattafell thrives on its self-sufficiency. The villagers are skilled hunters, gatherers, and farmers, attuned to the rhythms of the seasons. Each household contributes to the communal well-being, fostering a sense of unity and interdependence that defines the spirit of Skrattafell.
As the sun sets behind the craggy peaks, casting a golden glow over the village, and the stars illuminate the night sky, Skrattafell stands as a testament to the harmonious coexistence of humanity and nature. It is a haven in the mountains of the Emerald North, where the resilient spirit of its people echoes through the rustling leaves and the mountain winds, creating a symphony of life in this enchanted corner of the world.
Although Skrattafall is near the coast it is far enough away that it actually has little trade and business with the sea. Instead most of the villages trade comes from the Emerald Folk city of Armskirk and access to the road that they are situated next too. Many centuries ago these villages fought bloody battles but peace came when they eventually found that they could make more many through trade and cooperations.
