Josilin
Government
Josilin is the seat of the Barons of Porhoet, and the largest settlement in the heavily forested region of the Ar Goat Letha, despite being located on the border with the Barony of Arzal
Defences
The impressive riverfront fortress, Kastell-Josilin, sits atop a rocky cliff overlooking the Oud River, sporting 9 circular towers altogether.
History
During the reign of Gradlon Mwar, Josilin marked a key crossroads along the Kingdom's road network, but saw little permanent development until after The Fall of Ys. At this time, a poor woodcutter discovered a statue of a female diety in the forest, covered in brambles which gave sight to his blind daughter. Declaring it a miracle, The Church of the Four declared it a depiction of The Maiden, and a church in her honor was founded as a result. Some claim that the statue in question depicts a local divinity associated with the Path of the Forest, but the original article was lost, preventing further study.
Geography
Josilin is located on the left bank of the Oud River, built into the hillside with defense in mind. The surrounding region is hilly.
