Remington employs the local Reeve of the village a friendly gentlemen by the name of Isaac the old. Isaac has been a resident of Pring for over seventy years and has come to be respected by the village more so than the current Baronwald. Isaacs duties are that of any Reeve, he collects Taxes, Adjudicates disputes between locals and ensures the villages security.
Industry & Trade
Pring relies on the lumber mills that trade with the merchants that travel through the village usually heading to the capital city of Stormwind. Traders will purchase lumber and sell it to the wealthy merchants in the city as well as trade with the locals. Pring thrives as a stopping point for travellers and just so happens to have one of Stormwinds most valued resources; Storm Oak, a substance impervious to lightning and fire, and used exclusively by the kingdom to build their ships. With the recent war with Aoura over Stormwind is looking to rebuild its nearly obliterated navy.
Infrastructure
Pring's main resource is Lumber, being located between 3 major forests it sees its fair share of lumberjacks looking for work. Any traveller looking for work will find plenty with the 2 competing lumber mills in the village; the Rebmul family and a shaggy half-orc by the name of Shorog.
The Rebmuls trace their linage back to the founders of Pring and have chopped timber for centuries delivering it to Stormwind via the trade caravans that pass through, they own two large circular saws they like to brag are dwarven made, but any real inspection can see this is a boastful lie. The Rebmuls are a family who has been struck by tragedy Mary and Martin (Wife and Husband) lost their son Marcus to Lung Rot a terrible disease that sees the infected cough and shiver for weeks before their lungs turn to stone making it impossible for them to breath. Their son has been buried in the local church by father Kost. The Family has fractured after this tragedy with the father crazed on obtaining the secrets to harvesting Storm Oak and the mother shacking up with the recently missing Sarah Webster.
Shorog's mill is much smaller with no large mechanical saw, only a walled Mill and his secret technique as he calls it. Shorog has been tolerated as he has discovered a method for cutting and harvesting the mysterious "Storm Oak" a material so valuable the Stormwind Navy has been building its ships exclusively from it. Shorog doesn't share his technique for cutting the Oak, but the locals know he uses a strange tribalistic looking axe to do it. Without the locals knowledge Shorog has taken to the orphan child who appeared in the village a few years back the young boy known as "Corkie".
There is a local blacksmith, a dwarven fellow; Rurik Letghur. The smithy has moved to the village from the city of Strom and keeps to himself but often can be found in the local tavern drinking himself into jovial spirits. Rurik performs basic maintenance for the lumber mills and independent farms in the local area, often sharpening axes and the odd sword for the local Crownies.
