Bellhill

Bellhill is well within the borders of Miranthor, far enough that is not remotely a realistic conquest for the Estari Dominion, thus it is not technically considered part of the Disputed Lands.
However, a treaty with the Traders' Union of Miranthor requires that you have something of ample value to bring to the table. Bellhill has some meager mining operations in the surrounding hills, but nothing that compared to the riches minded in the Ember Peaks and the exotic resources traded from the Estari Dominion and the Freeholds of Celestia.
A treaty with the Union is a point of contention in Bellhill. The town leaders, particularly the merchants and guild leaders, insist that it will bring prosperity and the opportunity for the town to grow. They contend that Bellhill can provide the Traders' Union with a skilled workforce, a strategic trade location, and cultural richness. The common folk are split. Poverty in Bellhill is harsh, and the prospect of new jobs and opportunities bring hope to many. Others see the treaty as putting the town in danger of oppressive taxation, losing their autonomy to incoming merchants who will buy their land and mining claims out from under them.
Bellhill got its name from a distinctive hill located near the town, which has a unique bell-shaped formation. Locals say that during on certain nights, the wind blowing through the hill would create a melodic sound, reminiscent of a ringing bell. This enchanting phenomenon captivated the settlers, who named their growing town in honor of the peculiar landmark.
