Budham

Budham is a halfling village located on Budh Ieg, the Isle of Grapes.  It is located toward the center of the island, among the rolling hills, which are predominantly treeless, and lined with occasional, massive oaks, and endless rows of grape and kiwi vineyards and orchards.

Demographics

Almost entirely halfling

Government

Halfling families' grape and kiwi vineyards are divvied up geographically, with everyone living in Budham, located in the center of the isle.  The mayor is elected by the family leaders, and there is a fierce yet polite competition among families on who should be the mayor, with arguments based on whose grape cultivars produce the best wine, sweetest juice, etc.  Each halfling family boasts its own cultivar's superlatives.

Defences

Not many defenses, besides being located far from the coast

Industry & Trade

Wine-making, grape production, raisin export

Infrastructure

Dirt roads and a small line of houses and a few shops.  The inn is a bed and breakfast-style facility, and the pub is more of a "bring your own wine" situation, since the halflings are always making and testing different wines.

Guilds and Factions

The Zed Delvers and some other "below the radar" organizations have recently docked in the bay, known as Budham Bay.  However, Budham itself is still limited in terms of facilities and transportation to and from the town from the coast.

Architecture

Budham's buildings are usually wooden, thatched-roof dwellings.

Hilly, few trees, vineyards
