Wendarn

Wendarn is important as a toll point on the junction of the dirawaen roads, and as a tithe barn village. Tithed crops from local farms are stored in barns and warehouses here, and the "Wendarn minx" is a tailless species of feral cat much appreciated in the village for its work in keeping vermin out of the grain stores. However, rather surprisingly given the number of people who pass through here, Wendarn folk are extremely insular and xenophobic. Intermarriage over centuries has produced a population with a large number of enfeebled, half-witted, and even sociopathic peasants. Along the roads leading to and from the village, "As like to meet a Wendarner with the right number of fingers" is a widely-used expres sion meaning, roughly, "Once in a blue moon."
