The **Barony of Greenstown** is a small fiefdom located in Western Elwynn Forest to the south of Stormwind City. It is currently run by the local baron, Lord Tion Harrowmire. The barony is a part of the larger County of Stonewind, which is itself a part of the Kingdom of Stormwind. The barony is named after the seat of power, Greenstown.

## Culture

### Religious Beliefs

Most of the residents of the barony believe in the Church of the Holy Light, particularly among the Human and High Elf populations. There is a small church in Greenstown that has a few priests that oversee the people and provide counseling and healing services to the people. There is also a smaller chapel in Millstone Hamlet that has a single priest. There is a small Dwarf and Gnome community in the barony that also mostly believes in the Church of the Holy Light but there is a small subset of that community is known to have titan worshipers among them, however there is no formal priest or organization in the barony dedicated to the veneration of the Titans.

### Local Holidays

The holidays of the barony are consistent with the holidays celebrated throughout the Kingdom of Stormwind by the human population. Midsummer Fire Festival, Hallow's End, Children's Week, Harvest Festival, and Winter Veil being the major ones. The baron traditionally funds celebrations for these festivals in Greenstown each year.

## Economy & Resources

The Barony of Greenstown is mostly agrarian. Millstone Hamlet at the southern end of the barony produces cereal grains such as wheat and barley. The river which runs through the barony and the Great Sea to the north are fished, with the river's stocks being regulated in Fisherman's Jetty. The woodland that surrounds Greenstown provides game and furs to be sold. What few pastures there are, are used for lamb. Most excess wares and supplies are sold in nearby Stormwind. The most lucrative crops in Greenstown are herbs such as silverleaf, peacebloom, and mageroyal that are collected and sold to the alchemists and magi of Stormwind.

The barony is not particularly wealthy, however those who live in Greenstown tend to have a higher standard of living than those who live in the other settlements owing to the fact that Greenstown is where most of the merchants and craftsman of the barony do their business and live. Some of the services available in Greenstown include an alchemist, and blacksmith, and a carpenter.

## History

The Barony of Greenstown was founded in 629 K.Y. when House Wrynn elevated House Emerson to nobility in December of that year. The barony was created out of part of the County of Stonewind and the Barons of Greentown serve as vassals to the Counts of Stonewind. The most recent census done of the barony in March of 630 K.Y. listed the population of region at an estimated 5,980 people.

## Settlements

### Greenstown

Greenstown is a village consisting of about 3,300 inhabitants, more than half the entire population of the Barony. It is the seat of power of the barony and is the wealthiest part of the region with most of the merchants and craftsman do their business and make their homes. Greenstown is located on either side of the Daydare River and is connected by a stone bridge. The northern side of the river is where most of the population lives. The Church of Saint Zebediah is at the center of the village and houses three priests who provide religious services and healing for the people of the barony. There is an alchemist, a blacksmith, a carpenter, and a general store that serve the people. A farmer's market is set up in the village green every Wednesday and Saturday.

### Millstone Hamlet

The metaphorical bread-basket of the County of Stonewind, Millstone Hamlet is the bulk producer of the barony's cereal grains such as Wheat, Barley, and Oats. Vast irrigation trenches keep the fertile south amply hydrated and nourished to produce the vital crops. It is the second largest settlement in the barony with about 1,700 inhabitants. The Hamlet does not have as many services as Greenstown and citizens usually have to travel to Greenstown to get services and to sell their crops. Greenstown is about four hours by foot from Millstone Hamlet.

### Amberfall

Amberfall is the newest settlement in the barony. There are currently no roads directly to Amberfall from the rest of the settlements. The easiest way is to sail down the river as Amberfall is located at the mouth. Thus far the settlement is made up of a tower and a two story house structure. Fishermen sailing past on the river say that a company known as Gryphon Holdings Inc has leased the land from late Lord Thaltor and that there doesn't appear to be much activity on the outside from what they can see. The tower does now serve as a landmark to locating the mouth of the river for fishermen and traders.

### Fisherman's Jetty

Fisherman's Jetty is a small hatchery for mountain trout located within the County of Stonewind south of the Village of Greenstown. Fisherman's Jetty is about two hours from Greenstown by foot. Its purpose is to help supplement natural spawn-rates of fish by artificially supplying the river. The Master of Fish, appointed by the Count of Stonewind and the Baron of Greenstown, runs the jetty which has grown in size to become a small settlement made up of mostly fisherman and their families.

### Soldiers' Retreat

Soldiers' Retreat is a small Stormwind military encampment located on the only road in and out of the barony. It hosts about 150 members of the Stormwind military and is made up of mostly young and inexperienced troops recruited from Elwynn Forest and Westfall. Another 100 militiamen, made up of citizens of the barony, are based at Soldier's Retreat. They work and train alongside the professional army soldiers when they are at the Retreat, however, the militiamen are responsible for patrolling the roads and enforcing the King's peace among the citizenry of the barony and therefore can usually be found spread throughout the settlements of the barony.

## Houses

House Harrowmire rules the Barony of Greenstown and is pledged to the Lord of Stonewind, House Ardalan. There are currently no other houses in the Barony.
