Caltini

Caltini is a town in the Kafetran region of Mezia. It lies in the mountainous foothills of the Huon Range, nestled in a small valley and surrounded by a drystone wall high enough to keep away the Mountainfolk in the area.
Caltini lies on the road from Facce to the Harnese town of Bränos, with a smaller track leading south to Avermo. Being on the main route between Harä and the Vasterlands, Caltini's merchants make fat profits on the trade being brought through the town, and the Kafetran ideology is to share with those less fortunate that oneself - this is the reason that despite it being such a small settlement, the houses of Caltini are all built of stone and of incredible workmanship.
The town was founded some time in the 4th Century when traders travelling through the area were repeatedly attacked by the Mountainfolk. The Duke of Ensempia solved the problem by building a small fort halfway between Bränos and Facce. The frequency of Mountainfolk raids dropped dramatically due to the military presence and over time merchants settled at the fort, admiring the natural beauty of the surroundings.
Nowadays Caltini is a town of around three thousand people. The original fort building was converted into a temple to the Kafetran god of merchants, Ferrero, and the former garrison have become its hereditary priests and caretakers.
