Brimholt

Brimholt's residents are almost entirely Iskjin Humans. The vast majority of said citizens are fisherfolk, craftspeople, and warriors, specifically axemen, loyal to Clan Render.

As with nearly all settlements in The Wildlands, Brimholt is ruled by its Jarl, Hroald Render.

The main defenses include the wooden palisade surrounding the village proper, as well as the watchtowers littered about the harbor. Brimholt also has a small professional army in addition to the standard Housecarls of Clan Render, most of which are capable axemen.

Fishing. Brimholt is primarily a fishing community, specializing in cod, herring, and shellfish. Crafting. In support of both the fishing community and the axe-centered warrior culture of Brimholt, the village sports a healthy crafting community. The Brimholt fishing spear, axe, and shield making traditions are well regarded around this area of The Wildlands, much of which is made from driftwood reinforced with iron.

The village consists of a number of heavy timber buildings, most of which are houses, some doubling as places of business. A harbor sits upon Helgafel Bay, with a number of watchtowers littered about. A wooden palisade surrounds the village. Near the harbor, atop a hill sits the village's Great Hall. Outside the palisade are various farmhouses, fishing huts, and other scattered buildings.

While the village is too small to truely have distinct districts, the vilagers tend to separate the village into three areas, outside the wall, the village proper, and the harbor.

Brimholt has been ruled by the Render clan since its founding.

The Great Hall

The Great Hall of Clan Render sits atop a hill, surveying the entirety of the village. Just off of the harbor, the Hall is the grandest building in the settlement. The building sports banners bearing the steel-grey axe on green of the Render clan as the hearth inside burns constantly. It is the personal home of Jarl Hroald Render and his family, contains meeting spaces, and serves as a dining and mead hall, open to the public. The Great Hall also contains beds and rooms for rent, payable to the Jarl himself.  

The Bay Market

Along the harbor sits an open-air market where fisherfolk trade their daily catch. While the majority of the market is taken up by fish stalls, a few stands sell imported goods - mead, cloth, salt, and other various affects.  

Skeld's Forge & Stockade

Among the other crafters in Brimholt, Skeld's Forge & Stockade stands above the rest. Skeld, a grizzled veteran and master crafter, produces fishing spears prized for their straight shafts and steel tips, and axes and shields made of driftwood with reinforced iron, producing flexible yet sturdy tools. His wares are sought after by warriors and fishermen alike in the region.  

The Salted Cod Inn

Brimholt is large enough to have a single Inn in addition to The Great Hall. This warm and smoky tavern sits just inside the palisade, well to the south of the harbor. The place specializes in fish cakes, salted cod (as the name would indicate), and Blackfjord Stout - the inn's home-brewed beer.  

Brimholt Church

The church does not specialize to any one deity, though the majority of the residents who enter worship The King of the Sea.  

The Crooked Spear

This tiny oddities shop is run by an Iskjin man named Kjell the Bent - a wiry old man with a long, crooked back and one milky-white eye. The shop carries a variety of trinkets and knick-knacks, some of which are valuable and many of which are not. Kjell the Bent is never short of a story or two as well.
