Villanoth
Villanoth is the name of both the town and the castle of the baron. But when people mention the name Villanoth they usually means the town. Mostly when adressing the castle they name it The castle of Villanoth. The town is quite poor and the peasants are malnourished. At the entrance to the town, the corpses of executed thiefs are hung in cages until the bones fall to the ground, or the cages are needed again.

Demographics
The commoners of the settlements are mostly Raxorians, but a few non humans are also living in the town.
Government
As the Barons castle lies in proximity of the town, he is heavily involved in the ruling of the town. But the Seneschal manages the day to day rule in close conjunction with the Sherriff of the town.
Defences
The castle is the main defence of the town and therefore the town has no walls. But it is surrounded by a moat, and the outlying houses are built to become defensive posts in case of a siege.
Industry & Trade
Cottage industry for local use
Infrastructure
The town is situated at the banks of Stirpitz river and as such there are many small fishing warfs. There are also a few lumber centres upstream where the logs from the edge of Brynhildur forest logging camps are collected. The road between lumber centres and the port are pretty decent as the wagons traveling between them are heavy.
