General

These entries regard general topics or categories outside of the subcategories below.

Families

These entries relate to the seven Families.

Fort Brunsett

These entries relate to the city of Fort Brunsett and its surroundings.

Chicken Hill

The smallest and most southerly of the Four Hills from which the district takes its name, Chicken Hill has seen its share of drama, but it limps on and, albeit with decrepit dignity, still manages to boast its fair share of historic properties. The name originated from a rock formation toward the top of the hill, according to local folklore, though modern viewers question the sobriety of the settler who thought a lump of granite looked anything like a hen on eggs.

Among its most well-known properties, the Rose Court Tenement house remains a shabby-genteel housing area for those not quite wealthy, but not quite poor.

Hill List

Fort Brunsett is, more or less, a city with a dearth of flat land to expand on. Its hills are many, some fairly tall, but none tall enough to truly cause difficulties beyond the occasional lapse in parking brakes. The area nearest the river, once used for farming and smaller markets, is the modern day downtown largely because it is the flattest land in Fort Brunsett.

Lewis Hill

Northmost of the Four Hills from which the district takes its name, Lewis Hill is rather unremarkable in and of itself, and might well have been turned into a quarry for its granite roots if not for its proximity to wealthier portions of the burgeoning new city of Fort Brunsett. It is the second smallest of the four hills, only Chicken Hill below it.

In the end, the hill is known less for itself and more for the humourous history surrounding its crowning jewel: The Church of St. Benedict Joseph Labre, colloquially known as 'The North Cathedral'.

Little Maple Hill

Located toward the northwestern outskirts of the city, just northeast of Stockford Hill, the Little Maple Hill is nothing like as famous as its Tamarack Falls cousin. More often than not, its name is completely irrelevant, thanks to the fact that developer Devin Delwood chose its picturesque slopes for his family-friendly housing lots. When someone mentions living in Delwood, this is more than likely where they mean.

The name originated from the stands of maples which used to cover its peak, and while most of its original forest has long since been razed to clear land for homes, a few groves of old-growth sugar maples do remain.

Pine Hill

Tallest and most spacious of the Four Hills from which the district takes its name, Pine Hill was named after the prevalence of pines on its forested slopes, though the east side is largely devoted to expensive homes and a Vermonter's idea of luxury housing. It is a quiet place...when the Garreaus are not tinkering.

Inveterate scientists, teachers, doctors and more, the Garreau family claimed by and large the entire western side of the hill, straight on down into the rolling wilderness against its flank, and the wealthy lot continues to hold to that ancestral claim to this very day. Much to the city's amusement, the eccentric family's perpetually unsuccessful 'Moontide' vineyard is located just outside the family lands.

Stockford Hill

Located toward the northwestern outskirts of the city, Stockford Hill was named after a Joseph Stockford largely because no one could think of any other 'honour' to bestow upon him for the .. ah, monumental bravery of hiding in the lavatory of the then-growing city's bank while bandits stole citizens blind. As the only survivor, he did contribute to the bandits' capture, but only thanks to his keen eye for well-cobbled shoes. The bandit leader wore a particularly handsome pair, quite memorable, though lamentably too large.

These days, the broad and gently sloping hill provides access to the I-89 on-ramp and is home to the city's largest mall.

Tamarack Falls

These entries relate to the town of Tamarack Falls and its surroundings.

Changeling

These entries relate to the Changeling community.
