Egathedhad

Egathedhad, officially Egaðẽþad is a town in Castanor.
== History ==
Egaðẽþad was founding circa June 2024 by Alban Hernameu (ign: Lorem_Alban), a migrant from the nation of Hodege. The land upon which the town lies was once home to a people known as Crovincians, who built crude dwellings and farms, and lived a less civilised life to their neighbours and rightful rulers. However, over time, the Crovincians fractured and collapsed, leaving behind their home and allowing for the land to be resettled. Alban Hernameu, who by this time had lived in Badarium for some time, was tasked by the Lord of Celestia Hollow - Barron Newt'this - to found a settlement in this area. Alban was chosen due to his experience in carpentry and construction. Upon migrating for the second time in his life, Alban declared his new settlement as Egaðẽþad, roughly meaning "flatland meadow" in his native Hoddish tongue, due to the lands plentiful grass and flowers.
Egaðẽþad was abandoned around 6 months after it was founded, due to a lack of immigration from other regions. This led to the town's few residents returning to the urban centres of Castanor, and the town's leader - Alban Hernameu - left the country in search of greener pastures.
== Architecture ==
=== Ne Hisdegane ===
Meaning "The grain house", this building is the primary storage for the town's supplies and goods. It was notably the first building to be constructed, and thus served as home to the colony in its first few days. The barn also set the style of construction to be continued in later projects, using strong spruce beams with local quarried stone piled up around the walls. This mortar-less wall design was cheap and quick to build, thought requires frequent maintenance.
=== Ne Gane Lougõhoiz ===
Directly meaning "The White Bird House", but translates to "The Swan Freehouse". This is a large pub that was built in the same style as the barn, and was named for the flocks of swans that can sometimes be sighted on the nearby river. It is arguably the most recognisable building of the town, as it is the only multi-story building and by far largest building thus far. It serves both food and drink, all locally produced. The only food available is simple but hearty meals, mostly based around meat, bread, and vegetables. There are also some rooms available for travellers to stay in for a small fee.
=== Sheep pens ===
Another feature of the town is the flock of a few dozen black sheep, who are esteemed for the quality of their wool. This wool is mostly distributed domestically, but a small portion is sold to the global market.
