Wellesley
After Guildford, Wellesley is the largest city of Southvale outside Penmorgh. During the time of the Heldring invasion, the Heldring lord Jarl Ragnar kept his hall here atop a knoll overlooking the bay. The remnants of that hall still stand, its beams blackened by centuries of mold and lichen and its thatched roof long since carried away by winter winds. The population of Wellesley remains primarily Heldring to this day, and one walking its streets would not find longships pulled on the shore of the bay at all out of place, though the town boasts a fine set of wharves and the barbarians of yore are primarily fishermen and traders now. The old Heldring spirit still lives on to some extent, though, for offerings are still left on the blót nights to the old gods of the Helcynngae in the ruins of Ragnar’s hall.
Notable citizens in Wellesley are Mayor Jorgen Jorgenson, Chief Constable Dryus Felthem, and Soothsayer Mmeld the Aglaecwif.
