Southgate
Southgate is a village along the southern edge of Sommerlund. Southgate is nestled in a gentle valley surrounded by rolling hills and sparse woodlands. It sits along a well-traveled trade road connecting two major cities, making it a frequent stop for merchants, travelers, and messengers. The village is compact, with cobbled streets, timber-framed homes, and a modest central square that hosts a weekly market.
Demographics
Humans make up the principal population (~450) of Southgate. In addition to the humans, there is a small section of ten Alfar, or halfling families (~50) that live on the outskirts of town.
