Acorn

The original tenant village attached to Rose Point, in what was once Firilith Province, which is now Laisrathera Province, and within Eddings Lands. The distance between the castle and village is enough that it takes the villagers several hours to walk it, thus Reese gifts Shoran with a horse.

It is distinct from the Rose Point Forecourt which has grown up around the actual castle.

Natives of this town call themselves the nasainirilin or "tenders of an orchard."

Layout and Architecture

A small church opens onto a stone circle, and from it spreads a village green complete with small pond and charming shops and public halls. The Pad station has been installed in an abandoned house on a corner.
