Mutka is sandwiched between the largest contiguous forest in Zoher and a crook in the Dami River. Its not a major stop over on the way to Twin Lakes, it only boasts a small Shrine to Hormus, and no major roads pass within several miles of their small hamlet. Despite this, the people of Mutka are quite happy. No through traffic makes for a simple life of sacrifice, and the quiet consistencies most citizens of the continent will never get to know.

People
Torso Olavi
Primary Priest and leader of the hamlet.
Samuel Parstone
A Amodian carpenter who does simple repair work on the shrine and citizens houses in return for other goods and favors.
Old Marta
The local Taivääntää or cloud reader as most call her. She communes with the firmament and often predicts weather and other natural occurrences with surprising accuracy.
The Eskola Family
A Zoherian father Felnor, mother Tähti and two adult daughters who tend the largest garden in the village. The eldest daughter Eliina’s complexion is mixed with subtle elements of sickly green Tiefling corruption. The younger by three years is Essi who’s small stature accentuates her rotundity.
Fabó Vilmos
Fabó is the local master of drink. He tends a field of barley to make his famous beer. The drink he brews matches the color of his Tzelian skin and he is often the fulcrum of town gossip.
The Marke Family
A sweet older Nammalian couple Veera and her husband Edvin. Veera is a seamstress and Edvin raises about a dozen Sika and trades their milk and cheese around town.
Szilárd Simon
The most recent newcomer to Mutka, a young Tzelian man who lives off little but his small garden in a tiny hut. He is good spirited but the older population of the town worry about his health.
Zente Sándor
The resident with the closest home to the nearby forest, Zente is a middle aged Zoherian gentleman with countless hunting stories of his time in the Ambar forest. The townsfolk know its all talk, they all know the bow slung on his back is for show, but they enjoy the stories and how they entertain the children.
Raimond Enn
A remarkably old Nammalian man who takes his job very seriously. Every night he ensures two bright oil lamps are burning on the edge of the river. It provides a fixed reference point for the apex of the bend in the river, and aids sailors in navigating Mutka’s small portion of the river. Raimond also spends much of his time fishing when not tending to the lamps, and uses his catches to fund his constant need for oil.
The Ahti Family
Mauno is an old Zoherian man, his wife Liluth is an Elven woman who remains unchanging since the day they married. They have a young son Aatami who is not handling his father’s relatively rapid aging well. They tend to a miniature Tumin orchard just up the river from Raimond.
