Abingdon

General Information and Geography

Abingdon is located in the northwestern section of Khoress Kingdom nestled into a corner of hills. Water from rain and the mountains flow down the hill into a flat section, mostly surrounded by hills. This geography allows for generally favorable land for farming. The village however rests far away from the more populated areas of the Khoress and with lack of a draw, the village has remained small for a long time.

History

During the expansion rush of Khoress Kingdom after its official designation as a nation, a number of old mines were started along the Dragonspine mountain base where the nation had some semblance of control over surrounding threats. One such mine was started on the west by the investment of numerous families hoping to strike up a successful mine comparable to Penrith's. Abingdon was naturally founded for its welcoming and fertile land and was originally perceived as being a first stop for goods coming out of the mine north of the village. Many miners brought their families, and a few vendors travelled there during the beginning.

Over time, because the mine and Abingdon were far away from the capital and the, then budding, central trade hub, Goldenleaf, the mine was abandoned and closed down. The cost of transporting goods and supplying guards to protect miners and patrol the area for threats couldn't be sustained with the gains from actual mining. As a result, the small mining facility outside was cleared out of and Abingdon was left as a village which was able to sustain itself well enough.
