New Towne, Taldor
Description
A desperate, hardscrabble little village situated in a gentle valley, New Towne is less than a decade old and struggling to continue on. When most of the residents of Jambis abandoned their town and their baron, eventually settling in what seemed like a good area for farming. Like most of the Tandak prefecture, however, the soil in this region is overworked and poor quality, and with the limited supply of seed, tools, and livestock they brought with them, the town has yet to produce enough on its own to eat. Resources grow increasingly lean every season as the locals overhunt the surrounding area just to survive. This village was then abandoned once Jambis, Taldor was cleared of its dangers. Some moved back to Jambis, while other relocated to Stachys, Taldor.Industry & Trade
