Archbishop
~(X) General Information (X)~
The Easternmost County of Thorne and the Town of Thorne protect the Eastern Gateway to the Kingdom of Anhald. At the crossroads of many important cities and the site of territorial scuffles with neighbors, Thorne maintains a strong sense of identity and pride among its expansionist neighbors.
~(X) History (X)~
The site of the town of Thorne was chosen due to the prominent northern cliff-face the overlooked the East-West crossroad that entered the Kingdom. Lord Bayard began with the expectation that this would be a small border fort, but with the founding of rich soils and ores within the Blue Mountains, the town expanded.
~(X) Culture (X)~
While Lord Bayard is of Lavoyardian stock, and thus was raised in the Lavoyard tradition, he has adopted many of the Anhalder ways. As such, Thorne is representative of this Anhalder culture. ~(X) Traits of Those from Thorne (X)~
Values such as hard work, honesty, and faithfulness are highly valued, while cowardice, sloth, and religious apathy are appalled. Men and women from Thorne are of similar stock to the rest of their Anhalder brethren: of middling height, strong builds, and dark hair. Blonde is also common, and a throwback to old Lavoyard stock.~(X) IC/OOC Owner (X)~

~(X) Environment and Resources (X)~
Physical Geology:
Found at the northernmost tip of the Blue Mountain Range and in the valley south of the Green Mountain Range of Eberhall, Thorne is town built upon cool mineral-rich soils. Mechanical and chemical weathering have left most of the soils in the valley rich in silt and low in sand and clay. As such, it is perfect soil for the farming community that exists there. The iron rich rocks of the mountains provide fortification to any crops grown there, but it does make the water harder than other areas.
Climate:
Köppen Climate Classification: Dfb (Warm-summer humid continental climate; coldest month averaging below 0 °C (32 °F), all months with average temperatures below 22 °C (71.6 °F), and at least four months averaging above 10 °C (50 °F). No significant precipitation difference between seasons (neither above mentioned set of conditions fulfilled).
