The Duval Trading post

This trading post was established in Summer 809 thanks to a guild party who provided the last raw materials for the post to become livable and viable.

Claude Duval and his extended family and some friends have moved into the area around the confluence of the wolf and running rivers and established a homestead there. Altogether there are around 27 people at the homestead that will also double as a trading post in the wilds of the Artusian hills. The homestead is surrounded by a good sized palisade some 15ft tall and the buildings inside the palisade are made of stone and set into a small hill for additional protection.

The homestead/Trading post will cater to those residing at the homestead and travellers passing through. Local residents of the Artusian Hills can trade if they are unarmed and come in peace.

The Duval 'clan' intend to plant crops of Barley and other such hardy grains in nearby fields once they are cleared of rocks and the like and to cut Oak trees from the nearby woods for use in barrels. They will start production of 'Duval Whiskey' in Summer 810 and sell/trade the fine barrels from summer 815 as well. The whiskey will be laid down in the lowest levels of the hill and limestone caves for temperature and protection. Entire rooms full of the product will be bricked up and left for years until aged correctly.
