House Lindsberg

Our growth must be as strong and steady as the trees we cultivate.

“For a backwater territory full of axe-swinging lumber-hounds, they are almost religious about hard work and natural conservation. For that, at least, they have earned my people's respect.”

— Marcelene Branchdew, Chief Druid of the Moon's Bloom guild.

The Lindsberg Household

The current Lindsberg Homestead consists of Karlsson, his wife, his concubine, and 6 surviving children.

Structure

Count Lindsberg manages the commerce of his territory with the help of several small guilds, primarily Arboreal guilds which oversee the lumber production and reforestation of the area. There is likely a druidic guild working with them with a special interest in the Steelbark Birch.
organizations like the migratory farmers in america who work during harvest season.. seasonal workers come in every two or so years. big harvest of faster-growing softwoods, every 4 for hardwoods.

(town itself is small but it primarily uses all of the territory granted to raise and harvest trees, much has been dedicated to roads which lead throughout the territory into the woods and there are efforts being made to purchase more of the land around them to grow the trade. enlisting the help of many druids perhaps?)

Culture

Everyone, from children to the Count himself does hard labor forthe benefit of the Lindsberg territory.

Public Agenda

The world is growing, so stagnancy is not an option. However neither rapid expansion and growth would benefit the county either. Like the trees they cultivate, the leadership seeks to grow the territory steadily and sturdily.

Assets

Lindsberg's primary export is lumber, of which it is a supplier to much of the Amator territory. After many generations, a steady cycle of growing, harvesting, and drying has become the steady heartbeat of Lindsberg's economic stability.
Of their lumbers, fast-growing softwoods such as pine and ash make up the bulk of their exports. Harder woods like Oak, Birch, and Thorn make up their hardwood exports. Their most valuable commodity, however, is the resilient Steelbark Birch, of which the territory exports only 2-3 logs each year at a sizeable sum.

History

Pre-establishment

The story of House Lindsberg begins several hundred years ago with an ambitious expeditionary leader, Sören Reiter. Sören was the bastard son of a distant noble family, though he would not be recognized and claimed until much later. A lumberjack by trade, his friends and workers saw him as an especially hard-working and durable man. In addition, despite not growing up among the nobility, he had a level head and a keen sense for leadership and opportunity. Before being given the role of leader by his local lord, he had already earned no small deal of respect from his fellow townsfolk.

After a particularly harsh winter in 1866 TCC, the lordship of the town had made the announcement that the wood stores had practically been emptied. This put many projects for the following year in jeopardy, such as expanding the wall, building more houses, creating charcoal for the blacksmiths, and even handles for tools. There was a desperate rush to gather enough lumber to at least meet the peoples’ needs during springtime to smoke game for the following winter. Many experienced lumberjacks were called before the lord and ordered to establish expeditionary teams with the goal of establishing long-term lumber camps.

Sören was especially eager to prove his worth and before long set out with his own trusted team into the wilderness to the south. After several months of surveying, Sören discovered a curious copse of birch trees with unique, almost silvery bark. Upon striking them, the handle of his axe shattered and the tree was left with barely a dent. This was the discovery of the future Lindsberg’s prized commodity- Steelbark Birch, which holds incredible toughness, and would later be discovered to have properties to repel and injure the undead. The incredible Birch trees were a precious jewel, but the woods surrounding them were also a special treasure of many varieties of wood, and so the logging camp was established.

The War of 1881 and Lindsberg's Township

In 1868 TCC, the town, which we now know as Lindsberg, was a small, nameless settlement of little more than tents and simple lean-tos. Special efforts were underway, however, for trade routes to be channeled through the woods in order to send the wood back home. Sören had lead excellently and made an example of working as hard, if not harder, than those he was meant to be in charge of. With stockpiles in ___maintown___ laden with goods, the lord bade Sören to begin trading and grow the lumber yard into a proper village.

By 1880, the settlement had had grown explosively and became recognized as a proper town. However, before being christened with an official name, a small war had broken out between houses. Sören’s lord had decided to take the side of a faction against the monarchy and, to the surprise of his people, sent his entire supply of Steelbark Birch to aid the Monarch and volunteered himself and whoever wished to join him into service of the King. This unprecedented course of action infuriated his lord, but earned Sören great respect among the monarchists.

While the overall impact of Sören and his village on the war as a whole was relatively small, the gift of Steelbark Birch to the King struck a chord with the ruler. Once the war was over, Sören was immediately claimed by his birth parents, seeking to ride on his successes. The King, however, saw through this ploy and gave Sören a new family name, Lindsberg, as well as granting him territory in the forests which he called home. Thus, in the Spring of 1882 TCC, Lindsberg became officially recognized as a town and has since grown even more.

The County of Lindsberg Today

Currently, the bustling lumber town of Lindsberg hosts a humble population of a little over 8000 residents.
