Council of Loggers
The Council of Loggers is a merchant guild of experienced loggers that fund the town of Stanhill. Comprised of mill owners and representatives from companies who harvested lumber from the Shal woodlands, the Council of Loggers used their considerable economic leverage to control the flow and price of lumber throughout the surrounding cities. A sporadic history of strikes, embargoes, and succession has built a tense relationship within the infrastructure of Cruyan. The Council of Loggers is the largest group of experienced, proficient loggers in the Maul Valley. Despite being somewhat of a liability and source of retaliation, the Council has been a strong source of lumber for the past 6 decades. The guild operates from the town of Stanhill but has several outposts throughout the valley.
The Council has recently been exposed for destroying the habitat of Sanctioned Species in the area. Many exotic creatures and fauna are found in the heart of the dense forests and up the mountainside. Rumors have placed the corporation working with certain smuggling groups to traffic rare creatures and other sanctioned wildlife by the Capitol. The council is under investigation, and several regulations are being put in place to restrict the loggers' power and control over the trade of lumber. The council and residents of Stanhill consist mostly of orcs, humans, and dwarves. The poor who can't afford the cost of living in the capital city of Leucarum or members of the Council. The town is somewhat impoverished, with only those at the height of the Council living luxuriously.
Loggers of the guild are promised comfortable pay and housing for their families and children. There is a small school in Stanhill that is free for members of the guild. The pay is enough but minimal compared to the value of their labor. Working hours are long, and conditions are often hazardous. Young boys of workers are required to join the association at a young age. The pay goes up with time, but it is a hard cycle for families to remove themselves from. Stanhill is often where impoverished individuals go as a last resort for a place of work to rebound.
