Evesdoon

Hard work on the green brae

The road was a tedious but enjoyable trek through grasslands and forests, and you finally find yourself at the edge of a small hamlet. Villagers are diligently working at their labor: plowmen are driving their mules, lumberers are debarking fresh timber, and shepherds are rounding their flocks for the next pasture.  
Evesdoon is a small village located to the North of Galecrest near the Oiler's Islands. Despite its insignificant appearance, many of the cobbled walls tell a story much older than the residents living there.

Demographics

Residents of Evesdoon are of sailing or lumbering background; thus, the majority races are average humanoids.

• 70% Human
• 30% Blended
The people of Evesdoon would be considered low socioeconomic status; however, the village is fairly self-sufficient and commences trade with Galecrest often.

Government

Evesdoon has no official government but submits to the authority of Galecrest. Small yet important decisions that affect each resident are typically made by the elder men making the local government patriarchal.

Defences

The town is surrounded by a short cobblestone wall about 4 feet in height. 3-4 citizens are assigned as the town guard and are equipped with padded armor, rustic shields, and multi-purpose weapons. The bridge to the South also acts as a natural barrier to potential invaders.

Industry & Trade

Evesdoon produces many exports that are sold in the Galecrest market such as lumber, wool, vegetables, and milk. The most important imports are refined goods such as farming equipment and clothes; although, most clothing is created using wool.

Infrastructure

Evesdoon has an old bridge that connects the town paths to the main road and has existed since before the town founding. Lumberers also have access to an old sawmill that can process timber before it reaches Galecrest.

Assets

There are no official entrepreneurs in Evesdoon, but anyone with a product of labor will sell directly to an independent buyer rather than a guild or store. The most valuable resource is the wool sheared by Evesdoon shepherds and the woven into thick overcoats that provide both warmth and protection. Citizens have little gold since most survive by trading or spend gold on necessary equipment.

History

Stone structures such as tombstones and cobblestone walls have existed before the founding of Evesdoon indicating that another village or civilization existed prior in ancient unrecorded history. Evesdoon was founded shortly after the arrival of Fyre Taezal and has existed as a small agricultural settlement ever since.

Architecture

Hovels are built in the Norse style with stone walls, dirt and wood floors, and thatched roofs.

Geography

Evesdoon lies well beyond the Easton Woods on a rolling green landscape perfect for herding and farming. Small springs gurgle from beneath the ground creating areas of moist streams and puddles. The region is scattered with large boulders that can provide the curious traveler with vision for miles.
