Population is all halfling.Nayford was built around a watermill operating on the Iffyn River, a tributary to the Pawluck Ricer that runs through central Sunndi.  At Nayford, the river runs deep, making it impossible to ford (hence the name).  It is the closest place for days around for farmers to bring the grain crops to be milled.  The miller and his family have storage barns for the milled grain until a barge can take it downriver to be sold.Nayford also boasts a potter, a bowyer, a brewery, a basketweaver, a village seamstress (who also operates a backdoor trade as an herbalist), and a blacksmith.  There is one inn, which is a fuill service inn, and a tavern down by the docks for the barge crews.Nayford is controlled by a council of Village Elders, which always includes the latest scion of the miller's family (as town founders, they are traditionally the nominal head of the village's council), the sheriff, and the head of the church of Yondalla in Nayford.  As one may expect, very little business gets done by these folks as it pertains to governing; in the main, people govern themselves.  The other main center of power is the Nayford Ladies Sewing Circle, currently headed by the wife of the local miller, which very much runs things, behind the scenes as it were.The village inn is named That Field Yonder, a name suggested by a crafty local field hand, who suggested it so that when his employer (or his wife) demanded to know where he had been spending his time, he could honestly say he had been in 'that firld yonder.'  While both the farmers and the wives of Nayford quickly caught on, the name stuck.  The dockside tavern is named the Boatman's Cap.A map and a list of notable persons (or more  detail) is available upon request.Good luck!  Chris Perkettwho loves his halfling ranger/rogue/deepwood sniper</blockquote>
