Chesmire
A small community of 115 souls, Chesmire is the westernmost of the lost Caleen colonies. Living in relative isolation until its discovery by Gtsang traders in 3360 I.R., Chesmire’s inhabitants had lived a precarious existence, growing just enough food to survive and tending to small herds of goats and sheep. A small amount of trade with Enua and other small villages also took place. The arrival of the Gtsang established relations with the outside world after many years and brought in much-needed goods. The later arrival of the Castorhagi who wished to trade with the Shattered Folk also aided Chesmire and its surrounding settlements.
Chesmire remains a very small settlement inhabited by the descendants of the original Foerdewaith settlers and Shattered Folk clansfolk. The village consists of a huddle of stone and sod houses surrounded by a wooden palisade. When danger threatens, Chesmire can call up about 60 able-bodied militia to defend it, and older folks tell stories of several ferocious fights with marauding goblins or orcs that were near-run things indeed. The town has few resources save the grains and vegetables that it grows and the goats and sheep that graze in the surrounding grasslands. The current leader is Elder Sabratha, a wizened old woman who claims to be more than 100 years old.
