Back in the Karfelon days it was a small fishing village with a seperatist population that talked funny. At the breaking of the seawall it became an obvious place of trade for Lojem isle (way easier to get to than Karfelon was, it already has docks, etc...). The native population quickly sucumbed to capitalism. | Back in the Karfelon days it was a small fishing village with a seperatist population that talked funny.

+ | A lot of trade comes in by ship. Way easier to land in the north than to circle around to the south and dodge reefs, sea walls and small islands. That many people can actually be self supporting. A lot of what they make is used internally. Foreign trade is just to get hard currency to buy foreign made stuff. The portal farm is pretty close and has definately had an impact on trade. The mayor, Selic, is in negotiation with Terminal-3 to get a good rate for goods exchange with at least one off world civilization. | ||
**The Road** - A large scale improvments project was conducted and completed mid-10044. A path 20 feet wide spanning the entire distance from Gendel to Portal Farm was cleared and graded. Several bridges were built and some hills dug down. The road started out dirt but has since been mostly cobbled. Work continues. There is a low-intensity project ongoing to put rails in the center of the road. Gendel is working with neighboring villages to ramp up iron and steel production. Until then the center 5' of the road is being re-dug and more stable foundation laid to support heavier weight traffic. | **The Road** - A large scale improvments project was conducted and completed mid-10044.

There is a volunteer court system. The judge position is rotated among the leaders of the trade guild. They are not paid for their time and, of course, some are better and more fair than others. However things are held in balance. Make a blatantly bad or self interested ruling and you will suffer elsewhere (probably in your pocket where it hurts). Any citizen may appeal to the court (actually to the judges staff of two that sits permanently at the courthouse. These two usually elderly or inferm and take a small stipend for their time.). Actual court sessions occur every Dran at noon and are usually done by 2-3PM. The crime rate is pretty low. | There is a volunteer court system.

The calm northern waters are ideal breading ground for several varieties of large and tasty fish.
