Vesta

A largely self sufficient town, primary exports are lumber, and prepared wooden objects, such as tables, chairs, statues etcetera.

Fruit and game make up the majority of the food available, as there are just so damn many trees, and things that live under trees. Most trade with the outside world is for harder to find or grow foods like wheat/bread, and metals.

There is also a small but strong textile industry, that makes use of the wool from the forest's sheep and other creatures, and a more specialised cloth made from vines. There is also a single silk farmer, but their output is not significant.

The town also exports a few faecrafted magical items, these usually involve glamours or illusions, such as clothes that can change their appearance, Hats of Disguise, boots and cloaks of Elvenkind, and similar.

The Mayor of the town is a half-elf named Nantaz Sibecca, a mere 102 years old. He likes painting, but is famously bad at it. He's a competent leader, however, and has some minor magical talent. Also a pretty good carpenter, but that's not really anything to shout about in Vesta...

The population of Vesta is fairly evenly split between humans, half elves, elves, and faekin, but pretty much every playable race can be found there in at least small numbers.

Vesta boasts a large post office, as it is on a major trade route. This office is famous within the post office service for the speed of its growth.

Businesess of Vesta:

Bailey, Bailey, & Feldspar; The biggest carpentry firm in Vesta, combining the knowledge of 3 master crafters, Cormon Baileu (a human), Adarath Bailey (half elf), and Bailey Feldspar (a dwarf). None of them are related. They produce the finest woodwork in the whole country, and are also one of the more prolific wholesalers of furniture, as their apprentices and journeymen crafters can knock out pieces of good quality with great speed as well.

Bumble's Kitchen; A popular eatery, owned and run by Bartholemew Bumble, a halfling. The dishes are often... quite interesting, as Bartholemew regularly tries to employ pixies and other fae as chefs, with predictably mixed results.

Margaz Thruknuk's healery Margaz is a half-ork with a gift for healing, and so has opened a largely charitable medical practice. Most of the carpenters in the town have had at least one finger reattatched by Margaz. Margaz is actually a very nice and caring individual, but has a very loud and gutteral voice, which some can find offputting. It doesn't help people's perception of his bedside manner very much either.

The woodsman's associations. The trees around Vesta are very carefully managed; wood is the economic life of the town, and so the Associations take VERY good care of the trees. The associations are established by directions, north, south, east and west, and all trees within 100 miles of the town in each of those directions falls under the jurisdiction of the appropriate association. The woodsmen make sure the trees are growing healthy, start and control underbrush burnings when required, plant new trees, and fell those that are ready. The associations are the only organisations within vesta permitted to gather wood in large ammounts, and sell it to the carpenters and crafters in the town. Considering the work they do, their prices are actually quite reasonable. They also sell firewood at very generous rates. Felling a tree within Vesta's reach without good reason is considered a crime, and the woodsmen and rangers of the associations will mete out justice as required.
