The village of Milik's Hill is the easternmost holding of The Kingdom, five day's travel to the east of the city of Lillendale it sits on the border of The Frontier
The town itself is a holding of the Earl Henwik Fens and he holds it directly, so much of a backwater is the hamlet, as well as the land surrounding it, that no lessor Knight or Lord has been given it as their own territory.
Milik's Hill was founded 15 years ago by Artur Milik; a warrior of some note in service to the house Fens during the previous wars. He was given right to use the land, but bitterly no noble title to hold the land itself. He gathered some friends and other folk and set out to find a new life. They traveled est from Lillendale and after some number of days stumbled upon a ruined church, of elder construction in the middle of the wilds. Seeing this as a sign the folk choose this as the location of their new home.
Artur did not live long into the founding of his new home, the wounds of war catching up to him one long winter and he died abed five years after Milik's Hill as founded. The Hamlet is now managed by his son Ithamar, who serves as steward to the Lord Fens as his father did before.
Ithamar is a 29 year old human man. He stands 5'11'' (182 cm) tall, has soft tan skin, and a muscular build. He has very-long, waist length blond hair that he keeps tied back in a simple braid, golden-brown eyes, and an oblong face.
People describe Ithamar as very calm and very self-confident.
Josefine is a 38 year old human woman. She stands 5'7'' (172 cm) tall, has rugged, dirty, tan skin and a lean whipcord build. She wears her wavy grey hair short cropped and she has black eyes set into an edgy face.
People describe Josefine as rarely spoken and very focused although on festival days she spins a good yarn and is willing to stretch the truth to do so.
In addition to her families farm, where he is assisted by her seven children, Josefine also serves as the Dichward and Hedgeward of Milik's Hill. In this roll she oversees the construction and maintenance of the drainage ditches, the hedges and fences, agistment (the right to pasture animals), as well as restraining any errant animals that might escape their pastures.
Melba is a 50 year old stout halfling woman. She stands 3'2'' (97 cm) tall, has soft pink skin, and a beefy build. She wears a wimple over her bald head and she has blue eyes set into a oblong face. Melba can often be found covered in the product of her work be they forest debris of the dust and chips of her woodworking.
People describe Melba as self-confident if a little bit nosey. She is know as a great animal lover and has several pets (dogs, cats, and a goat). But sometimes people whisper about the terrible screams heard sometimes from the Gamblebelly house in the dead of night and the long stares that Melba sometimes seem lost in.
The Gamblebelly clan are not original settlers to Milik's Hill, moving there five years into it's history, Melba along with her husband and their six children, to work their trade. Their obvious skills got her assigned as the Woodreeve to the hamlet.
In this role Melba is responsible for the hamlet's estover (the right to collect firewood), turbage (the right to cut turf, usually for fuel), pannage (the right to pasture Swine), assarting (clearing) of new fields, and preventing damaging/cutting down trees without permission.
Elmer is a 29 year old human man. He stands 5'7'' (172 cm) tall, has soft golden skin and a roundish build. He wears his bright red hair in a long mohawk and he has cyan eyes set into a diamond-shaped face.
People describe Elmer as upbeat, easy-going, and friendly. Hey is casually pious, almost never seen without the battered but well loved green-enameled brass cloak pin in the shape of a wolf that declares his dedication to Frey’Lenn.
In his role as Hayward Elmer is responsible for organising the sowing, harvesting and reaping farm-work on both the resident’s lands and on the Lord Fens' Demesne. In the latter case he is responsible for ensuring that all the tenants who owed service to the Lord Fens (which is everyone... except for Sorisana) fulfill their duties.
Isabel is a 32 year old human woman. She stands 5'7'' (172 cm) tall, has soft tan skin and a roundish build. She has long, wavy, light blond hair; light-brown eyes, and an oblong face.
People say that Isabel is an example of modesty, quick to help others, and knows all the gossip around town.
As an Alewife, most folk in the hamlet give over a portion of their harvest to Isabel and the hardy brown ale that she brews is shared by all during the year. Her and Elmer's house is larger then most and serves as a stand-in town meeting hall and tavern in the absence of a specialized building.
Sorisana is a 271 year old high-elf woman. She has stands 5'1'' (157 cm) tall, has pale almost snow-white skin, and has a strong-dancer's build. She has long straight midnight-black hair that sometimes seems to shine with navy reflections, sapphire blue eyes, and a strong square face.
People speak of Sorisana's focus and closed nature, she is often lost in her work not appearing to know the day or the season. She speaks few words, and softly when she does so, and sometimes can be found wondering at the night looking at the moon or the dark stain of The Frontier beyond.
Sorisana was known to be a friend to Artur Milik and was an initial settler, she seemed to take his death hard and grew more isolated after that. For all of this the townsfolk have nothing but good words to say about her and her craft and the tools and instruments produced in her forge are of exceptional quality, much to the chagrin of some wondering peddlers looking to offload middling metalwork on the frontier hamlet.
