Berewíc

Berewíc was a town situated in the Northern part of Blacern. It was governed by the Grenelо́f family, one of the most powerful families of Blacern Earthlings.
== Geography ==
Berewíc was an old fortified twon erected in the middle of large flat plains at the northern edge of Fynworc Forest. In the middle of the town was the castle of the lords of the city, and in front of it was the market place, where a tree that had been planted by Béhot Grenelо́f, one of the first Earthlings. It was a place of prayer by itself, and many worshippers of Viridis would go on pilgrimages to Berewíc just to touch the tree. During the 17th Century SBY, the tree was so large its roots had broken out of the pavement and invaded the place. 
== Society ==
Berans, as inherited from their founder, were rather seclusive and strangers were often negatively looked upon. 
== Governement ==
As the Grenelо́f Castle, the residence of the lords of the city, is situated in the middle of the town right at the Marketplace, the lords of the town are seen as regular folk and well loved by most of the inhabitants. They are seen as very down to earth, very outgoing and always willing to help, which gave the town a rather joyous atmosphere.

== History ==
=== Founding ===
When the First War of the Stars broke out, Berewíc was only a lonely castle where the noble Grenelо́f family lived. Hildatan Grenelо́f, the oldest son of Béhot Grenelо́f, was the lord of the castle, and had no will to fight for Viridis or to send his sons to battle. He thought the war was pointless, and that he had better to do than play fighting where his castle needed tending and his wife was sickly. 
But, when Viridis realised one of his most powerful Enchanters refused to fight, he sent a group of Earthlings to get him to war. Hildatan wanted nothing to do with them, so, as a rather overreaction, he took all the help he needed and built a wall around his castle and the surrounding farms. He named his little settlement Berewíc. The Earthlings never penetrated the wall, and, years after years, Berewíc grew into a real town.
