Greenmire
Demographics
In my time within Greenmire ive found that a majority of its residents are human, with a fair number of elves consisting of its majority as well with most of them coming from Silverkeep. There area. number of other races living within the town thought they make up a minority
Government
The government system of the city is a sort of oligarchy. A round table of people who are hand-selected and completely anonymous, make the choices that end up affecting the settlement. they also act as the town's generals and lieutenants. In my time I've only met one, who goes by the name of Ser Arles Montange, who loudly pronounces his title, whether it be true or false.
Defences
Most of the farmland make any frontal assault on the city hard, so in leu of walls the Round Table set up checkpoints that monitor the areas around the city and keep undesirables out
Industry & Trade
Greenmire is wealthy in rich soil, and the synwood glade is to thank for that. many rich families have personal vinyards and some commoners make their living tending to their own farms. Its primary export is alcohols and foods.
Infrastructure
The city is mostly made of farmland that consists of the various owned properties used for the production of meads, ales, and wines it is also profitable for mining and logging. the rest is left up to general crops. the inner city has multiple districts that have various purposes. The city is slowly growing in popularity and population, as its streets fill with more traders and more paved roads by the month, it is a major stopping point on the way to the major city of Silverkeep and Castorpool.
Districts
listed in order by southern entrance (I didn't stay for long unfortunately, so i had to be quick!)
Farm Walk:
This area is a bit of an expanse mostly consisting of free-roaming animals, wheat, grapevines and apiarys that work year round to provide Castorpool and its denizens the alcohol they need to continue their daily revelry. a few owners of the land squabble over the available farmland. Reports of farmers and travelers being attacked by bandits within the area continue.
The Rook:
From the south this area looks like a standard district of mostly common folk and common stores. theres a fine university in the western end as well as a fine park just before the bridge, many popup stores line the streets with the workforce shopping and drinking at the various taverns within this area.
Soldier's village:
Just as it says this is the communal housing for Greenmire's military force, the area has multiple industrial buildings and conjoined housing for those enlisted or those who do hard labor such as masonry, or woodworking.
Bullywark:
The hoity toity area just outside of the Crystalbalm vineyard and the Linctenshire Meadery, this area is posh and is mostly funded by the families in a useless fued for superiority, compared to the cosy cottages the change in architecture will give anyone a culture shock. Rumor has it the Crystalbalms have been planning something big for a while now
Westmarch:
The more political district of the city, Westmarch is home to the Halifax court and marshals the entire town, there is a library inside of the Halifax court that is open to the public as well as a few areas that give hospitality to emmisaries and those of political intrigue
Guilds and Factions
This was a rumor ive heard but apparently there is a contingent of the Keeper of Hooded Lanterns within Greenmire. this is strictly heresay though, so take this with a grain of salt.
in addition theres a far bit of activity around town related to The Collective, the shadowy organization that opposes the crown
History
Greenmire could be considered an extension of Silverkeep as the town itself was made to be a halfway point between the capital of Abadon and itself. with time it grew into its own separate township. it is contentious to good relations with Silver Keep who has been a major ally in the pact though recent tensions with religion and specific freedoms have caused silver keep to deny all who enter the Synwood
Geography
Greenmire is fairly flat with rich soil for turning. its surrounded by trees and plains, with various hills appearing, one of which being built around the Halifax court
An excerpt from a letter to the The Greenmire Round Table: ...And it is by decree and agreed upon conditions that the settlement of Greenmire shall henceforth be considered by Queen Moira and the will of the gods, be under the control of the Abadonian kingdom. The Round table shall be given partial control of military forces and must confer with the Silverkeep Pact. In relation to the control of the commoners and.... The letter is dated nearly 100 years back. this country is considered one of the first to join the "Silverkeep pact" an agreement which binds all the settlements of Abadonia into one country
