[*] Sparkling Grove, a lumber known for its durable and fine scented timber. [*] Hawking Academy, a combat training school [/List] [U]Population[/U] [List] [*] 3300 [/List] [U]Politics - Economy - Atmosphere[/U] [List] [*] A small town on the edge of Lake Kylnn, Avleigh is relatively quiet. Those people in the city proper spend their day working their businesses or going to the market. This particular village has the largest lumber industry of any settlement north of the Iron Heights. The majority of men go to work in this industry at the earliest possible age. However, others still pursue careers as blacksmiths, yeomen, and other occupations. The people here are pleasant to say the least, exploiting the easy life provided for them by the Nivarian Monarchy. Not everyone on EIn Sof has it so lucky. While the population of the town is quite large in number the majority of the population exists beyond the town’s walls. Here, many people farm their given land in order to supply food for their families, those in the town and with any lucky are able to make a small fortune by selling their goods to the capital Kreim or to other cities with a greater need. While the poor do exist within the town’s limits it is not comparable to the poor of other nations or even Kreim where the poor consists of beggars, street urchins, pickpockets, and other rabble rousers. But instead, the poor consist of a lesser socio-economic class where one room homes or apartment living is more common. [/List] [U]Relations[/U] [List] [*] Few settlements exist today without the help of Avleigh and the timber industry that has prosper there. Many people make the trip in order to secure bits of lumber for their various projects whether it be carving a wondering shield or for the intricate figurehead on a ship ready to venture out to sea. Others might find it prudent to visit the town at a young age to find purpose at the Hawking Academy should their natural talents point in the direction of a combatant. The Hawking Academy is known all across Ksemari as producing some of the most prominent fighters the continent has to offer. Overall, Avleigh is a quiet town that finds a modest existence to be substantial towards their way of living without threatening the chance of continual raids by goblins or bandits. [/List] [U]Major NPCs - Inhabitants[/U] [List] [*] Virgil Valoryn, Headmaster of Hawking Academy [*] Terek Kel, Master of Weaponry at Hawking Academy [*] Neska Erling, Sibling of the Baron and mistress proprietor of the Sparkling Grove Timber Company. [*] Octavia Pyre, regional leader of the Sisterhood of Dragons [/List] [U]Other[/U] [List] [*] Although most of the inhabitants of the entire nation let alone simply of Avleigh, the timber of Klynn Grove holds a magical property that makes it extremely durable, malleable and burns much hotter and brighter than normal wood. The ash from wood burned is suggested to contain magical properties and is often used to create runes of magic when blood is disfavored by the caster. The entire town emanates with a magical feeling of calm as the majority of the town’s buildings have been constructed using this wood. [/List]
