Bajit

Description

Bajit is a woodland just outside the city of Reeds, to the city's southwest. The Zisswi River arcs around to Bajit's south (it is called Twillen River further south). This is where it begins to settle down from its torrents in the north, although there are still some rapids that hinder trading vessels. The floods of spring bring annual enrichment to the few farmlands along its way, with the majority of these being found in the plains like area in the southwestern corner of Bajit bordering the Zisswi River. It is here that the largest village in Bajit can be found. Consisting of only roughly 150 or so villagers, Cornel is not at all a large village, however by comparison to the other villages that lie scattered throughout Bajit it is the most populated area.

The rest of the region is densely wooded, both by conifers and hardwoods, which are mixed close to the river while hardwoods dominate in the uplands in the central area of the region. Within the densest of these hardwood forests, the Silver Forest, is the small village of Orlan which has been able to flourish deep in the forest with no real farm fields by depending on the Silver Ironwood trees which are plentiful in this small area of Bajit. Being quite useful for making bows, arrow shaves, spears, armors and other items where the strength and durability of the wood used to construct the item is of great importance, Orlan sustains itself by harvesting the trees and selling them at market. With Count Terric Shadowbane constructing a Special Forces recruitment center outside of Cornel, the village of Orlan has recently become home to some highly skilled craftsmen who specialize in making weapons and armor from the Silver Ironwood opening a new trade for Orlan as the weapons and armor made by these craftsmen are sold to the recruitment center.

While it is the logging and lumber mills that employ the majority of the workforce, there is also a small copper-mining industry in the uplands which provide work for a few small villages outside of the Silver Forest. These villages have recently benefited from the increased demand for the copper produced by the mines to make armor and weapons for the Special Forces Recruitment Center. - - - -
