In western Perrenland, Skillet lies approximately 30 miles north of Krestible A small town, Skillet has a population just shy of 500 and the surrounding lands are mostly farms. Farmers travel to Skillet to sell their produce, share news and perhaps a pot or two of the local ale. 

Skillet lies on the junction of two roads, and thus sees a constant stream of traffic. The first road runs from Krestible to Schwartzenbruin, while the second runs across the dangerous Mounds of Dawn to Exag. Skillet is the closest interchange point to Krestible for horses. 

The Skillet area is predominantly populated by the Rosrijder clan, all related to each other under one large sub-clan called the Swerins. This clan has, in the past, been associated with cattle and horse rustling, banditry and other crimes but has settled down in the last few generations. They mostly live in scattered farms around Skillet. They find long term employment in the village due to their ability with horses and breed a lot of the horses that they sell to merchant houses. The Swerins have a chip on their shoulder as they feel other clans in the area look down upon them.

The village itself are dominated by Hüssen clan members from mixed sub-clans. Tensions have been approaching feud level at times between various Hüssen families and the Rosrijder Swerin clan. The peace is kept by a small, yet affluent, population of Weisspeer clan members including the Mayor, Ritter Ust VanDerbergsen, and Deputy Major, Arnald Kleistad.

Description

the town only has some thirty buildings in total that supplies the local area with facilities such as an inn, a temple, the constable’s goal, market place, blacksmiths, general merchants and several other specialist crafts.

The level of traffic through the town is fairly constant especially over summer and the locals are kept busy servicing the various needs of the many travellers who stop for a day before moving on. This makes Skillet, despite is small size, a bustling and diverse community.

Economics

A good number of horses, bullocks, carts and wagons are kept and maintained here by various merchants houses in the village's corral. Skilled tradesmen are available to repair broken wagons and carts.
