Wolsnium

Wolsnium is a small city in central ["Jorlinum"] on the road between Sigiliem and Agolest, to the east of ["Malberina"]. Historically the city was part of the trade route linking northern Jorlinum with ["Amastia"], but in the early 1400's it has grown with the rise of mining in the mountains to the east. The demand for metal ores and other mineral resources has meant the growing exploitation of the resources in the mountains to the east of the city, and, along with nearby Sigiliem, it has become a base station for those that work in the mountains.

Before the rise of mining, the city was one of the primary defences against fell beasts living in the mountains, a job that it had done for five hundred years until the early 1300's. There has been no attempt to push back these creatures, but the threat has diminished considerably as human societies have grown and expanded. The original city defences are still in place, but there is some sprawl into semi-permanent suburbs where the migratory miners live.

During the years of the Empire there was a garrison in this city. The military presence has been scaled back, and the buildings that were part of that garrison have been demolished or re-assigned. The original city wall has been removed to the west of what used to be the old town as the demand for housing and services to the traders has grown and building has taken place. The rising slopes to the east the rising plain has become place where temporary shacks and camp-sites come and go as groups of miners and their guards pass through the city on their way to the mines up in the mountains.

Services

The city has seen the demand for services to the traders and their guards grow hugely over the last fifty years, there are several new inns and a ready market for the food produce of the western plains that run down to Malberina.
