Taflshir

Taflshir, "table district," is a suburban community of log cabins and log towers, lined with log fences, known for carpentry and shipbuilding. The town also has a large harbor, and is a common shortcut for the Twells in the northeast to take a shortcut, through the guarded town which takes tribute, through the mountain pass and around through the woods to Hevedburg.

History

Taflshir originated as a logging town, supplying Hevedberg with wood during the Age of Man.  Since inter-hwell trade has become common, Taflshir has become a main port for Hevedberg, supporting incoming shipments from the northern hwells, with traffic split between it and Kers ("Kersport" and "Taflport"), since both are equidistant from Hevedberg.  Kers' route is more open, but longer, and goes through Weghall's tunnels, while Taflshir's route is shorter but more forested, passing through the mountain pass ("Nuppern Pass").

Architecture

Wooden structures, houses, and buildings - there's a central town around the harbor, but residential houses spread out from there in a general sprawl across the region, with some residences containing plots of woods for family logging businesses.
