Tainfagel

The city of Tainfagel the seat of the Barony of Tainfagel. It lies about thirty miles east of Trynser City. 
Tainfagel is located along the eastern bluff of the Habertius River valley, divided into one part on top of the bluff and another on bottom. The two parts of town are connected with a large lift system. In addition, a series of locks and dams are being built alongside the falls of the Habertius River. The upper city stands two hundred feet over the lower portion, also the heighth of the impressive waterfall.
It has a population of about 21,000, divided between upper Tainfagel with 8,000 and Lower Taingagel with 13,000. It was temporarily swollen with refugees from the war of Gormann's Horde.
Upper Tainfagel is squeezed between two large hills, the one to the immediate north peaking at nearly five hundred feet. Furthermore, the town is divided on topside by the river. A rocky outcropping used to divide the falls in two, but now the southern side is cut off from the river and is where the locks and dams are being built. Construction has temporarily stopped due to the workers being sent to the ravaged lands to the east for rebuilding.
Tainfagel Castle is built on the edge of the bluff overlooking the lower city. Directly to the east of that a large stone bridge crosses the river to the part of town to the south. The southern part of the upper city is largely dominated by the lumber works, taking advantage of the power of the river as is heads over the falls. The finished lumber is sluiced directly over the bluff, creating rather deadly projectiles for anyone down on the lake. The lumber is caught in nets and is rafted down the river to Trynser City.
The northern side of the upper city is largely devoted to boat traffic further up the Habertius River into the mountains of the Gold Coast Range, which Tainfagel sits in a valley of.
The lower city is largely devoted towards shipping the goods of the area to Trynser City. Farms surround the town to the west and the crops can be sold at a premium in Trynser City because they arrive several days fresher than the aubundant yeild of Korduran. Therefore most crops grown in the area are the more perishable fruits, berries, and grapes, and peaches.
Both the Gipiton and the Artaketti families have roads that travel to Tainfagel. The Gipiton family have one road that leads from Trynser City to Dinast and beyond, while the Arteketti roads lead to Trynser City, southeast to Korduran, south to Sorienne, and north towards the Kingdom of Kasteban. The barony actually owns the roads within several miles of the city, and the two families' roads branch off beyond the city limits. They must travel in peace together close to town.
