Josenda
The best wines are all from Josenda.
Demographics
The populace is primarily human with the odd wolfling family here and there.
Government
The town has been governed by an elected mayor for the last four centuries. Before that the position of mayor was a hereditary one, passed down from the town's founder. His last descendant passed away in 1875 with no heirs, legitimate or otherwise. The town elders made the decision to vote for a new mayor. After a few rough years the process was refined.
Mayors serve a five year term. No exceptions.
No members of the Vintner's Guild or the Association of Barrel Makers may run for office. Mistakes were made.
Industry & Trade
There are four major wine makers in Josenda, all of them fiercely competitive with each other. This competition has led to these families obsessing over improving the quality of their product for centuries. As a result, Josenda's wineries have the best products money can buy.
There's a large dairy farm on the outskirts of town that dedicates its time to making the cheese sold at the annual wine festival. Some of its product is sold throughout the year, but the bulk is reserved for that one festival.
The barrel makers are the second most important guild in town as they provide the casks for the wine makers. They see themselves are more important than the vintners because without them there would be no wine. The two guilds have butted heads for centuries, always arguing over which is more important and what price is fair for the products.

Tourism
Many of the local vintners offer tours of their vineyards as well as the inside of the facilities themselves. Wine tasting events are highly popular.
Every year there is a huge wine festival in the fall. People from all over Keverynn come and relax on the hills outside of town, drink wine and eat locally made food. There are no formalities to this event; people come and go as they please and are encouraged to buy extra bottles to take home as souvenirs.
