The Mill House
This partially thatched stone building with its impressively large water wheel is owned by Haldelar the miller and his wife Parella. Both are middle aged: Haldelar is a strong fellow, ruddy-cheeked and barrel-chested, with floury side-whiskers showing the same gray that flecks his thinning hair, while Parella is dark-haired, slender, and still quite attractive. The Mill is used by almost all the farmers around Milborne for grinding grain, while Parella as the town baker supplies much of the bread used to feed the miners (and also travellers by road or by barge). The stone ovens here are something of a rarity, as most local cooking is done by boiling or broiling on a spit. She also turns out pies and other treats for the local inn.
