Amhorsten
This city is the capitol of the Hemmlakker Landen region in Frisia. Dubbed “the town of a thousand granaries” by locals, this city situated in the central Hemlakker area acts as the hub for almost all of Frisian agriculture. Farmers from miles around come here to sell their wares and the farmer’s market here is a massive area located on the edge of the city.
Due to its proximity to the Berkwoud, most of the lumber harvested from the area filters through Amhorsten as well and the lumber industry thrives here as well.
Demographics
The city is fairly rich due to it being located in the Merchant League. The people of Amhorsten, despite its size, are more rural than most other city dwellers on Serrus.
Amhorsten likely has more cattle, chickens, pigs, and sheep than people during the peak trading months.
Government
Governed by Duke Constantijn van Kanne as a Dukedom.
Defences
For such a large city, Amhorsten has no defensive walls. Their militia is mostly cavalry, which makes for formidable street-side protection. Forst Horst protects sea trade moving into and out of the city.
Industry & Trade
Cattle, grain, and other agriculture are the primary industries of Amhorsten.
Infrastructure
Tall grain silos and vast cattle yards dot the outskirts and stone and wood timbered houses line the wide streets.
History
Before the destruction of the town of Plattveld and the subsequent rebuilding into the current city of Plattveld, Amhorsten was just a sleeping farming town. It's prime location on the Horstend allowed for quick movement by ship and barge and soon, the grain and agriculture flowed through Amhorsten more than Plattveld. In a quick few hundred years the little village surged into a booming metropolis.
Geography
Sitting on the coast of the Sudenfelds, the city sprawls wide throughout low fields.
Natural Resources
Grains and cattle
With all the food grown and raised in Amhorsten, it's a wonder that there are any hungry people left on Serrus.
Governance
Noble family known for sustaining a majority of the League's agriculture
