Marchamp

Situated among the rolling hills of central Turaine Canton, the capital city of Marchamp is known to most Coreuneans for its sole product: wine. Since before the founding of the kingdom, this region of hills and vales was renowned for the fertility of its fields. It is home to a unique group of wineries producing a broad range of excellent wines. The grapes grown here surpass those found anywhere else in Coreune. Thanks to generations of cross-fertilization and grafting, these fields now boast dozens of varietals. Most notable is the Parnot, a taste so remarkable that connoisseurs from around the world actively seek it.
Inhabitants are of two sorts: native Marchampoise, and transients. The latter consists largely of noblemen and wealthy merchants, both of whom come to Marchamp because of the cachet associated with having a summer home here. Most of the time, the transients' great estates are empty except for their servants who maintain them in case their masters should choose to arrive. Not suprisingly, some of these servants take advantage of their masters' absence by living like kings or by renting out the estates to visitors. The native Marchampoise live simply and take their care of the vineyards very seriously; it is not only their primary source of income but also a source of immense pride.
