Stonecircle

Stonecircle is a mill town along the Lange River, also known for its nearby remains of ancient stone circles, known as the Rockrings, arranged in the nearby fields. Crops of grain from the Belt Glaswellt and Port Pond, as well as wool from Sogn's Gwerthby, are often brought to the town for milling into flour and spinning into fabric before being shipped onward to other towns and cities.

Demographics

Mostly humans, with a halfling minority, along with some elves who live near, study, and protect the shrines of the nearby stone circles.

History

Stonecircle's ancient history is connected to that of the Rockrings, which are believed to have been constructed to study the stars and to learn magic through that arrangement.  Stonecircle grew as a village located along the Lange River, whose milling techniques were some of the first invented.  Today, Stonecircle is a moderate milling town well-connected with the trade routes in either direction, providing utility rather than just being a town to stop in.
