Windmere

Windmere is a Faramondian town lying on the coast of the Trade Lake. It is close to the border with Gabrainn, and lies on roads leading to Bunport across the border, as well as to Faramond Keep and Fallholt.
The name of Windmere has an unclear origin - some scholars purport that it is a bastardisation of 'Wundemar', a Middle Talorian word meaning 'Good Sea' and also a given name. Others claim the name is newer, taken from the Lakespeak words 'Windi Meare' and meaning something along the lines of 'Windy Shoreline'.
Windmere was founded in the early 4th Century BCE and has been inhabited on-and-off ever since. Originally a major port for the Dalforeans to sail to the western shore of the Trade Lake, it fell into decline once the migratory period ended and has since become a quiet fishing village.
