Copperwood

Erica's home village, Copperwood is a modest settlement on ridgeward Bladefell, roughly halfway between Dirkland and Dy'As Ridge itself. Mainly a farming village, Copperwood is so named for the colour of the bark of the trees that make up the forest that surrounds it.

Demographics

Copperwood is predominantly populated with human farmers, though a few other professions reside here as well, the next most common being shopkeeps and chargers. A token population of guhr and kroll call the village home.

Government

An elected mayor serves as the main governing body of the village, handling local affairs such as maintaining infrastructure and defense force.

Defences

The village largely relies on the surrounding forest to keep wild threats away, and when that doesn't work, the local guards will take up arms when required. Typically outfitted with a cuirass, a helmet, shin guards, gauntlets, a sword, and a repeater carbine with ammunition, this corps of adequately trained individuals have saved Copperwood on several occasions.

Industry & Trade

Copperwood is a farming village, with exports mostly consisting of produce, with some animal products as well. A single blacksmith plies their trade here, and a handful of shapers in various professions call Copperwood home as well, making small amounts of shaped wood and stone goods.

Infrastructure

The village has indoor plumbing, a rarity for a settlement of its size, courtesy of the Shapers who inhabit it.
