Blumenthal is a small township located in the Dwendalian Empire near Rexxentrum, and is the hometown of Caleb Widogast.
Description
Blumenthal is a beautiful but humble village located southeast of Rexxentrum that produces most of the food for city. As a result, much of the town's farmland, pastures, and orchards are government-owned, which is at times a source of discontent for the people of Blumenthal; while they are well-compensated, they do not own the land they work and it is difficult to escape the Crown's scrutiny. Others, however, appreciate the increased safety from the Crownsguard and the promise of rewards for families who work the same plots from generation to generation.
Caleb grew up in farmhouse described as humble and warm. After its destruction, it was replaced by a new house built by a different family, although it was modified and later destroyed by Trent Ikithon in an attempt to manipulate Caleb.
Society
Blumenthal, like most Empire settlements, has an appointed starosta; however, Starosta Judus Olessia's governance is often circumvented by direct rulings from the Crown. Starosta Olessia frequently works with the kingdom Argonomist, June Wiston, in the interest of the people of Blumenthal, since the town's importance is an agricultural one.
Demographics
The racial makeup of Blumenthal is 71% human, 12% dwarf, 11% elf, and 6% other races. As of 835 PD, the population is 3,850.
