Axehome

Axehome is a small village that resides at the distant southwestern edge of the Havens. The people there are woodcutters and woodworkers, and they sell the wood they cut from the Deep Wilds to villages throughout the Havens. It is a prosperous community, but farflung, and so it has a palisade around it to resist raids from bandits or Broken.
Recently, Axehome was attacked by a determined force of Broken raiders led by a Black Shaman. The people were captured, but the party was able to rescue them and begin rebuilding.

Government

Elected Overseer - The village convenes once every 3 years to appoint a new Overseer. The Overseer is responsible for leading the village in times of crisis and settling disputes between residents. Though also responsible for taxation, there is very little of that in Axehome.

Defences

Palisade wall.

Industry & Trade

Axehomers cut wood from the Deep Wilds. Craftsmen in the village work the wood and both worked and unworked wood products are traded to villages deeper in the Havens in exchange for food and protection.

Assets

Stores of Wood, large numbers of axes and woodworking equipment.

History

Axehome was founded alongside the central Havens communities as a logging camp to gather raw materials for the building of the villages. Over the past 50 years, it has grown into a solid and stable settlement.
Over those 50 years Axehome has been attacked regularly by small bands of Broken. However recently, the Broken struck with the aid of a Black Shaman and captured the town. Due to the efforts of the party the village is free once more, but heavily damaged.
