History
Mellsburry was established by Jack Bundle in 1592 so the halflings can be fully independent once more, having their own land separate from any other nation. The town grew as the years flew past, expanding their land, trade routes and relationships with other nations. Every once in a while, new people settled in , and new Halflings were born in town. By 1595 a new government structure has been voted where three elders would cooperatively lead the town, Jack Bundle, Bippun Smallfoot and Gerald, this was later removed in 1599, where the first Thane Jack Bundle has been chosen by the citizens to lead the village. Burrows were being built, more people moved in, the pub was getting over crowded; the Halflings had to build extremely fast to meet their space demands. In the year 1598, once the festival area had been built, the Mellsburry Halflings decided to celebrate in the name of the growth of their new nation, Haysend.
Geography
Mellsburry is built on the northwest shores of a small island close to the dwarves land. The island is covered by trees while a mountain stands like a guardian in the middle. Thanks to its distance from every other nation, the town offers peace to its residents; something that the halflings need to truly prosper. Gently rolling hills of rich soil are adored by farmers for their capability of growing wheat. The burrows are mainly on the sea-facing side. There is a festival area by the sea as well, and then along the road to reach the main square there are shops for trade. The Grotto is also an interesting place to visit as it is home to the town’s bustling tavern, where many halflings spend the majority of their days.
Government
The Thane is in charge of the Farthing with help from his council. The council is composed by the Thane, his three advising elders and the Mayors of every town within the Farthing of Haysend.
To help the Thane, the citizens of Mellsburry elect the Mayor of the town but only if the council approves it. The mayor has control over the Capital Mellsburry and is expected to manage housing, make sure everything is in order, plan future projects and appoint the three following titles: Trade Master, Burrow Master and finally Farming Master. In other settlements within the Farthing a Mayor is elected by the citizen of the town whom is advised by three Elders, but this could not always apply.
