Demographics

This town is largely made up of spies and guild members with a few shepherds, farmers, spinners, and weavers.   Rhoswen Flint is a shepherdess. Cedric Boulderdown is a farmer.   Drystan Maddocks is a spy.

Defences

The primary defense of this town is it's isolated location in a hidden valley in the mountains. The narrow tunnel, which was cut into the mountain side to allow access to the valley, can be barred by a gate, is over ten feet long, and only wide enough to allow one man to pass at a time.   Should an enemy actually reach the valley, the spies training there are all expected to be well versed in combat training.

Industry & Trade

The Sequania goat industry is represented in this town, but to a much lesser degree than other Sequania towns because the main industry of this town is spies. Mercenary spies are trained and receive their work orders from guild leaders here in Ailbhelar. However, contracts for Sequania spies are usually enacted at the capital of Rathgarabank and relayed to the Running Cougars Spy Guild.

Guilds and Factions

The Running Cougars Spy Guild is the most prominent guild in town. It is responsible for the running of this town and the training and management of Sequania spies. Sequania spies, while not as highly regarded as Umadai spies, are well respected and often higher by other nations for political spying.

Architecture

A narrow doorway was cut into the mountain allowing access to the hidden valley, which houses this town. The buildings are constructed of the gray stone from the mountain. Many of the buildings are Morrian Spiral Towers, that is towers with an outside spiral staircase. There are also a few Morrian Round Houses. Many of the buildings, particularly the public buildings, feature typical Morrian motifs of interwoven vines and stylized animals in the instance cougars.

Geography

This town in the nation of Sequania is located in a hidden valley on the southern face of the Fey Mountain.

Natural Resources

Stone is plentiful. The valley is fertile enough to allow limited farming and more than sufficient to graze the local goats. However, most food supplies are purchased from the town of Ràild, which lies roughly two days journey east of town.
