Sycamore Mill

Sycamore Mill is a small, sleepy village featured in Windmill on Sin Hill. It is situated at the foot of Salt Hill (known as Sin Hill to locals), where the titular windmill is located.
== Geography and Architecture ==
Sycamore Mill is mostly flat, with a slight slant as it leads up to the foot of Salt Hill, as well as a near-imperceptible dip in the ground leading towards the center of the village. Its buildings are mostly rustic little two-floor houses, with most shops having people living above them. The most notable landmark is the large sycamore tree that grows in the very middle of the village.
Following the Salt Hill collapse, the geography changed drastically - the hill caved in on itself and a sinkhole opened under the sycamore tree, claiming several homes.
== Notable Events ==
=== Salt Hill Disappearances ===
The premise case for Windmill on Sin Hill, several citizens went missing and went mostly unreported by Sycamore Mill residents. When word finally got out, Inspector Julian Asker investigated, kicking off the events of the short story. The disappearances were never officially resolved.
=== Salt Hill Collapse ===
Following the events of Windmill on Sin Hill and shortly before Clusby and Gray, Salt Hill inexplicably caved in on itself, taking the windmill and several homes at the foot of the hill with it. Simultaneously, the sycamore tree in the middle of the village disappeared into a sink hole, which widened enough to claim several more buildings.
== Notable Residents ==
* The Windmill Family - The unnamed Grandmother adopted (or 'adopted') youngest child Ethan, older child Logan, and eldest child Patrick, but it is not known from where. Following Ethan's mental break and fatal well accident, she adopted the mischievous Charlie. 
This 'family' lived and operated out of Sycamore Mill, kidnapping residents to feed the hand, until the hill's collapse. Charlie disappeared, Patrick left to take care of Grandmother, and Logan fled to seek answers and shelter from Inspector Asker.
* Giant Hand - It was there, but now it's... dead, I guess.
== Trivia ==
* The collapse of Salt Hill and sinkhole in the village are implicitly attributed to the death of the giant hand (or rather, giant hands), implied by the aftermath of Snowmobiles 2, in which Sven steals explosives to blow up the hand in the snow caverns. This hand is presumably part of a much larger hand-beast with groups of followers feeding it 'truth' all over the world.
