Gristgrinder

The great hilltop windmill granary on the road between New Neaton and Keraford that feeds most of the people inside the Palisade. Built atop a wind-furrowed hill so its enormous sails spin at an almost alarming speed in the volatile Rivalonian wind, with 50–100 field-workers scything and hand-picking the cereal and wheat that are the region's staple diet. Should anything happen to Gristgrinder, much of the protected populace would go hungry fast — making it a quietly critical strategic site.

Almost certainly the same Gristgrinder whose owner's signature was forged onto Silithane's Varian leaving-papers back in Session 15.

Session 21

• Passed (not entered) by the party on the road to Keraford; the windmill's terrifying spin and the scale of the harvest drive home how much of the Palisade depends on it.
