Litenåsby

(Norwegian) Little Hill Town; formerly Cnoicghlasa (Irish) Green Hills

Along the western bank of Abhainn Adhmaid spin three great vertical waterwheels . Each powers a different industry bringing the lifeblood of the town.   You can identify which mill is powered by each wheel from the smell and dust pouring out of their attached building. The first, both in terms of location upstream and founding, tinted white, tan, and yellow smells of flour - ground barley, spelt, millet, and wheat. The second, in shades of brown and red tingles the senses and invites a sneeze from the sawdust as logs floated downriver are stripped, split, and sawn into fine lumber. The last and largest stands oddly cold and distant, black and cruel, despite its emination of the immense waves of heat fleeing its heavy black Iron doors. The corresponding red glow reveals the interior of a metal workshop and lights the immediate vicinity even during the darkest of nights.   Be warned, however, to not tred where you're not invited. These lands belong to the Barnema Trade Company, local governance be damned.

Government

Despite being relatively large and heavily industrial/commercial, Litenåsby is actually considered to be an occupied territory. Local rule of law and government were left in place by the Barnema Trade Company so long as quotas are met and obedience remains.

History

Name changed from Cnoicghlasa to Litenåsby by the Barnema Trade Company as an ignominy against the Halfling. Its original name is the eponym for the Cú Gcnoc Glas.
