Osløn
Osløn is the capital of Hrofland, and the home of the Hrolf clan. It is also a town rapidly growing into a city and in the process of changing its cultural makeup from that of the Northlands into a fusion of Northlander and Southlander cultures. A large fortification — called a “castle” by the Southlanders — is under construction just south of Osløn, though the process is slow and labor intensive. When completed, it will stand as tall as any Monrovian keep and be the strongest fortification in all the Northlands. The town itself is replacing its log palisade with stone walls, as well as paving its streets with cobblestones. A sewer is planned, but so far digging the necessary trenches has proven problematic in the sodden North Sea climate.
Nearly a dozen powerful members of the Hrolf clan live here, mostly in townhouses built to replace the more traditional halls and longhouses. Thralls abound and outnumber freemen two to one, an unusual proportion. In fact, the largest thrall market is here and accepts slavers from Seagestreland, as well as those from distant lands far to the south or across the Great Ocean. The Thing of Osløn still sits, but for the most part has lost what little power it had to the jarls of the Hrolf clan.
