Briorth

"Briorth might seem insignificant, but then you walk around the town and slowly discover the importance of this little town."

— Ealdoman of Briorth

While Briorth is on the smaller side of towns in Estain, it is still one of the most important places for pilgrims. Briorth is around 1190 years old, and was a thriving on its granite and chalk quarries, and its iron production.

Most commonly, Briorth is the last know place the Goddess Irath lived in as a human, before she left for the today inaccessible area called Lintudoma, where she fell in love with Cailan.

Briorth has a major convict and a church in which there are some items which are supposedly previously owned by Irath. One of her dresses are displayed, a fairly simple dress to disguise her as a Dynbodaul.
The convict is the leading branch for the nuns who seek to live as humble as the goddess did while she was a Dynbodaul. The order of the nuns is called the Order of Our Lady's Tears.
Briorth is also known for being a gossip centre, and somehow the latest news always reaches the residents first, who loves a good chat or gossip on the public privies, where taboo subjects are a major gossip source, especially concerning neighbours.

The fancy lad taking a piss

_{1st male: "Did yer 'ear about the fancy lad from Rangus? I 'eard he pissed alongside the road in a small alley."
2nd male: "Disgusting! Then what?"
1st male: "Two men discovered this and told 'im, it would be more decent to go to the common privies of the town. But the lad was stubborn, and said he was some noble lad from Rangus. The men brawled with 'im and dragged 'im to the Ealdorman."
2nd male: "I bet he wasn't happy!"
1st male: "Aye. He told the lad to pay a fine could he prove he was a noble's son, if not he'd to do nightly duties three days in a row."
2nd male: "And did he?"
1st male: "Nay, for soon after his father came and sorted it out. The fancy lad ran all the way back to the inn... But had forgotten to tie his hoses after he took the piss, which made the hose and braies fall below the knees and made 'im fall."
2nd male: "I bet he won't be showing his face around here any more. What a disgrace!"}
