Borleg

The town of Borleg is a quiet farming community in the central region of the Independent Kingdom of Khartoum.

Demographics

The town is, with notable exception, comprised entirely of Humans. Vorzha Nightsong and Illanamahra Twillas, the Drow and Elf "sisters" who made the town an early retirement being the only non humans present. They've already outlived anyone alive when they settled into town, making them the oldest and longest inhabitants here, and that none alive can remember a time when they weren't a part of the town.

Defences

There's little as far as town defense, as there has been very little to defend against. Occassionally, the odd miscreant highwayman or monster will roam in the vicinity for trouble or raid the farms; which the retired heroes Vorzha and Illanamahra can handle.

Tourism

Tourism, as such, does not really exist here. There’s little to nothing to distinguish this from any other farming community to justify the curious gaze. Being along the pathway known as the Galt Road, it at least serves as a place of rest and recuperation for the merchants, adventurers, or other wandering travelers aiming for the capital of Khartoum or other notable larger cities. The travelers are frequent enough to be able to support the inn that runs business here, known as The Bottom Floor, and to keep the people abreast of the most important news or pernicious of rumors and gossip.

Climate

With a generally temperate climate with slightly greater than average rainfall, it has created an environment that has been well suited for farming. Like in other agrarian societies, the farm workers will not ascend to the lives of luxury and privilege, but they are comfortable enough in their harvests and the seasons that they need not fear being entrapped in debt or wrecked for starvation like those in many less fortunate souls. The primary crop growing here, wheat, a stable sustenance crop, adds to the relative stability, versus those aspiring to chase lucrative cash crops abroad. A grove of apples has also been carefully cultivated here, that lends to some foreign trade, along with local cider manufacturing. The long stocks of wheat are useful for hay, in excess of the domestic animals here, and excess are often sold to traveling trade either to take to market or to support the beasts of burden traders use.
