Lumberfell

Lumberfell

  Lumberfell is a small logging, farming and fishing frontier community that lies on the east bank of Engleden's Run founded by Oldef Thaner. The village is relatively young, only 2 generations have manned the axes and saws that work mostly on the southern edge of the Goblinkin Wood. The lumber is mostly sent downstream to the town of Port Tavalo where it is processed and used for ship building and exported. The town is in the foothills of DragonsNest Mountains but the Shadow Mountains are closer to the west.

Demographics

95% human, 5% half elf

Government

There is an elected mayor, and so far they have only had one (Oldef Thaner). There is not much else in the way of a government on the frontier and most decisions are made by the families together with Oldef having the final say. The annual election is the only meeting that is held annually, all other meetings are held as needed.

Defences

The river is a natural defense and there is one watch tower on the northern edge of the village.

Industry & Trade

Lumber from the nearby Goblinkin Wood is floated down river to the town of Port Tavalo . The families here also hunt, farm, trap and fish for their food. The majority of trade happens between the residents of the town, bartering for the most part as there is little need for coin on the frontier.

Infrastructure

There is a sawmill located here on the river, powered by a watermill. Other structures of note are the watch tower and smith as well as Urlen's Tower, Lumberfell

Assets

Lumberfell is a town that subsists mostly on trade amongst it's own people. They grow their own food and make their own clothing, build their own shelters. There are store houses in the village that hold the communities stores for winter and so far they have had more than enough to get them through.

History

Founded in 1142 by Oldef Thaner his family and a few other families. They emigrated from the north looking for a place where they could make a living with their skills. Starting first as a camp, the area slowly grew as like minded folk heard of the quiet and peaceful way of life here. The village of Lumberfell has slowly grown over the years and has added farming, trapping, and fishing to it's ways of making a living but still remains a quiet frontier town.

Architecture

The buildings here are all wood with thatched roofs with exception of the watch tower on the river and the tower of Urlen the Old Most are single story, simple dwellings.

Geography

Lumberfell is located on the eastern bank of Engleden's Run. It is mainly a logging community, using the treasure's of Goblinkin Wood in that regard. It is in the foothills of the DragonsNest Mountains, north of Darkwalk Wood with the Shadow Mtns close by to the west. It is a temperate climate, with colder than average winters. In the time the town has been there the river only rose above it's banks once (1168) and the flood was not long and not severe.

Natural Resources

Engleden's Run river (fish, transportation), Goblinkin forest (wood), fairly fertile soil for farming.
