Eyjara

Eyjara is a town within the Kingdom of Hamrar. It borders the Grindlewood and sits on an important junction on the Great Western Road between Skalavik in the East, Aligar's Fist in the North and the Tolrock Road in the South. It is a primarily Human settlement, though it isn't unusual to see Dwarves, Gnomes and even Elves here.

 Social 

Eyjara's citizenry is overwhelmingly peasant class. Most people live in hovels surrounding the town's timber barricade with their animals before heading out to the fields and timber yards to work. There are some merchant class however, with the weekly market drawing in people from the surrounding villages.The nobility who own the surrounding land tend to live in Skalavik and have offices within Eyjara to manage their farms. This is with the exception of the House of Littleflood who have governed Eyjara for centuries.

 Political 

Eyjara is subject to the laws of the Kingdom of Hamrar, overseen by the House of Littleflood. Being a smaller town, citizens can bring their grievances directly to Littleflood Manor where the current governor will make judgements.

 Economy 

Eyjara's economy is reliant on three things, timber, farming and trade. Sitting on an important junction means the town is a popular stop off point on journeys around the Kingdom of Hamrar. The Grindlewood provides ample supplies of timber; at the risk of disrupting a goblin encampment, or angering the odd roaming troll. Eyjara is the last town on the road to Skalavik, so grain and food from around the Kingdom of Hamrar must pass through here to reach Skalavik.

 Religion 

Eyjarans worship Frey above all over deities; though there are substantial cults of Silvanus and Velestr.

 Military 

Eyjarans are no strangers to danger, with the Grindlewood right on their doorstep and the Stoneshaw Hills a mere two days ride north. To that end, the main centre of the town is surrounding by a wooden palisade with several towers. There is a permanent minor garrison to deal with petty crimes; and of course, to enforce "The Trials".
