The quiet Towneship of Annona is nestled into the Ravana Hills, farms and orchards covering the hillsides. A simple folk, the citizens of Annona seldom extend their interest beyond their border, having been swindled in the past by those of the Village of Cetara. While they are not hostile to outsiders, they do not welcome interference from those not of their towne, and while they do not involve themselves in the moral debates on the use of magicks, they eye it with a keen distrust due to its use by the Cetarans.
Though at first glance, this towne is idyllic and calm with only the lowing of cows and the fussing of chickens to disturb it, beneath the surface lies more.
_TOC_
Notable Denizens
- Benna, a flour-covered baker - Oddly thin for someone of the Annona, Benna's slender frame towers above the women of the village. Hair of dark sienna has been pulled pack into a large, fat bun, its ends sticking out messily. Her features are neither soft nor sharp but seem to be a mixture of the two. She owns and operates a bakery in the towne.
- Golan, a brawny miller - Unevenly cut hair of dirty blond hangs limply to his broad, thick shoulders. Eyes of crystalline blue sparkle out of a rough, tanned face of wide, flat features. The width of his neck matches that of his head, giving him the appearance of his head resting directly on his shoulders. Square of frame, his biceps are well-pronounced and his torso well-developed.
- Molly, a farmer's daughter - A bit overweight, Molly has blue eyes and blond hair kept in two braids. She wears a cherry rose dress trimmed in lace, but her feet are kept bare.
- Omar Khayyam Ravenhurst - Omar is a tall drink of water, standing nearly seven feet tall. His hair is very long and grey as his beard. Both his eyes and deep wrinkles bear testament to his age.
- Peder, a burly farmer - Peder has similar features as his daughter, but his eyes are a deeper sapphire and his shaggy hair is sandy in colour. His shoulders are broad and his build muscled from farm work.
Shops
The sole shop in Annona is an aromatic bakery managed by Benna, but it boasts a wide selection of food ranging from baked goods such as cookies and pastries to more savory dishes such as soup and steak.
Flora and Fauna
To the south is an orchard filled with a variety of trees: cherry, orange, lemon, apple, and even pear. The village itself features a fruit tree here and there, a testament to the Ravana Hills' abundance. Under Peder's care are farm animals, including goats, chickens, pigs, and even a cow. To the northwestern part of the towne are wheat fields.
