Ualune

Ualune is a peaceful farming settlement nestled betwixt forest and road, known for its breweries and meaderies.

It is a major source of truffles, a product sold across the continent.

## Government

Ualune is the only major settlement in the Province of Brurynais, and so serves as the seat of the Marquis of the region.

## Defence

A small company of Silvertowers are stationed within the town to aid in keeping the peace, the only true defensive structures a pair of watchtowers located along the northwest and southeast stretches of the Melody Walk to warn of oncoming threats.

## Commerce

Utilised most often by visitors as a comfortable stop on journeys towards Chalimar or Oxresh, Ualune offers a range of basic supplies and provisions, the majority of which is grown, harvested and made locally.

## Organisations

Those merchants that operate in the town are often small and independent, although those of wider reach are known to pass through from time to time. Small shrines are found within the town centre, with a single church dedicated to Buwello serving as a major landmark.

## Description

After breaking the connection of his former private residence to the Domain of Dolurrh, Ealwant Besculus had the Pillar of Ualune completely levelled, before plane shifting the rubble into the flaming seas of the Elemental Plane of Fire. Returning to his King's side, all that remained of the tower was its name, now used by the villagers in the region to title their newly congregated homesteads. Unbeknownst to the residents of the settlement, fragments of the Shadowfell still linger throughout the surrounding lands, although they have long been kept in check by members of the Order of the Ostiaries operating in secret beneath the settlement's streets.

Scattered on either side of the road known as Melody Walk, the centre of Ualune is little more than a marketplace where local entrepreneurs peddle their produce to passersby, finding particular success with the sale of a number of ales and meads. While never achieving the same renown as Atral wines, the fields of barley, wheat and rye have long been used to produce malt, a tradition that continues to this day. Apiaries dot the hillsides, valued for their role in pollination and the production of honey alike, and grazing livestock produce milk, wool, fertiliser and meat for their tenders. Another notable product of Ualune are several varieties of truffles, traditionally located by means of tamed wild boars.

The Marquis of Brurynais resides in a hilltop manse that encloses the Trillbird Vineyard. Deep cellars have been carved into the stone beneath, storing grain, fruits, smoked and salted meats and wines for the personal use of the Marquis, though these provisions are offered freely during difficult Whiterose months, as well as serving as the predominant source of food and drink for the annual Feast of the Brightnoon, the Holy Day of Buwello.
