Avondale

Avondale is one of the farming settlements that surround Port Karn.

It is located almost due south of the city, and mainly provides housing for the farm workers, along with what services they need for support.

Avondale is relatively close to the edge of the jungle, so it gets more than its fair share of "Wilderness incursions".

Government

Small city council, overseen by a local baron.

Defences

None, really. It doesn't even have walls. It has some fences, but while they may stop livestock or animals, it wouldn't stop an army.

Industry & Trade

Avondale is a farming town, almost exclusively. While there is a smithy, and a chandlery, an outfitter, and several other businesses, those are primarily to support the people in the town, rather than for export or trade.

Infrastructure

The city council oversees road construction and repair, maintenance of the water towers, support of the volunteer fire department, and organize the farmers according to the PKAC guidelines.

Districts

None. The town is too small for districts.

Guilds and Factions

The primary faction in Avondale is the Avondale Farmers' Guild, a satellite guild of the Port Karn Agricultural Council. It exists mainly to prevent the most egregious abuses by the feudal system. It mitigates the worst offenses, but it's not like the life of a serf is easy.

Points of interest

Oh look, another corn field. Oh, that one has a grain elevator near it.

Tourism

Nothing to see here, folks.

Architecture

Stone foundations, often stone walls. Those walls not made of stone are timber. Roofs are either timber or thatch. Larger buildings (businesses, shrines, larger farmhand barracks) usually have timber roofs. Private residences are usually thatch.

Geography

Avondale sits nestled in some low, rolling hills, surrounded by hedgerowed fields, pastures, orchards, and woodlots.

Natural Resources

Good soil, fed by the rivers and consistent rains.
