The Mill

The Mill is located inside the Greenmarket , built there to help make the city mroe self-sufficient and to keep raiders from destroying it as they could mills outside of the city's walls. Because of it's location, there were was neither water nor sufficient wind to turn the millstones. As a result, the mill relied upon animal power.   Beneath the milling room are several circular windlasses, to which Mule (Pack) , Oxen or even Namegivers could be chained to operate the millstone. Operating the mill was often a punishment, and the work was indeed punishing.   The mill was reopened by Garlthik One-Eye , the mill turned by either animals or paid volunteers. The pay is low, only a few coppers per day, but there are always plenty of desperate people in Kratas .   Some claim the flour created at the mill tastes off, perhaps like blood that flew off of the slaves before the Scourge. But those that claim this are few in number and generally such a thing is scoffed at.   There are three gain silos next to the mill, which extend three stories above ground and several stories below. They hold strategic reserves of grian. Only one is currently in use, and holds little grain since most is consumed as soon as it is brought into the city. It is rumored that the others contain horrid beasts.   Everyone in Kratas knows that the grian belongs to Garlthik and that he sells it ot hte bakeries for a low price ot help keep the city fed. Early on there were attempts to steal the grian, but Garlthik made an example of the thieves and none have tried to steal it since.
