The Saffron Stop Tavern, owned by Brutus the Drunkard

History

Located on the edge of the Thornwood on the road from Camlin to Argyle, Saffron Stop is known for its lumber mill and boisterous inhabitants. Taverns and markets line the streets, and although the population is less than robust, the town is known for some of its annual festivals, including the annual festival for the town's namesake herb, the Solstice Saffron Festival, where elaborate dishes and dyed fabrics highlight the ancient herb's versatility.

Jeni grew up there.

Economy

Most villagers seem to "get by", taking up jobs as they are needed: building fences, harvesting saffron, tending to the bartime clientele, anything to pass time. The town is disproportionately laden with bars and boistrous pubs, while a sole wash house rests at the end of the only main street.
