Aldterp

Aldterp was a Terp constructed on the edge of the Drowned Lands, created just north of the source of the Alddjip brook. Its original construction was in part to serve as a barrier against the Drowned Lands, to safeguard their nearby farmlands from storm surges. In its final years, its population was above 1200 people.
Aldterp grew barley and wheat on its southeastern farmlands, and held cattle. Its northwestern farmlands, frequently hit by storm surges, were used for silt potatoes and sea beets. They had an alliance with nearby Zwartterp, located to its west. Trade and collaboration between the two Terps was significant, until in 2085 Zwartterp betrayed Aldterp in the Massacre of Aldterp.
Aldterp was pillaged and burned, its ruins now devoid of life. Its former farmlands have turned wild, currently in use by the local deer population. In turn these deer have attracted a number of wolves. All survivors have been taken in by Zwartterp.
