 === Twisted Pines ===
-{{ :consolidated:finaroka:twisted_pines.png?200|}}Set on a peninsula, a few miles from town, Twisted Pines has hills and high cliffs, topped with the eponymous pine trees, around much of its coast, with a small fertile bay that is suitable for farming. One of the earliest farming settlements, it started growing cereal crops, mainly maize, but has diversified to include sugar cane.  The sugar cane is used to make the ++Pinga Rum|(a white rum made from cane syrup)++ and ++Basi Wine|(Cane Syrup fermented with fruit and spices)++ that are the stables of Finaroka taverns.

+Since Borak Salal, a settler from the Razardi islands, took the farm over, it has diversified to include sugar cane.  The sugar cane is used to make the ++Pinga Rum|(a white rum made from cane syrup)++ and ++Basi Wine|(Cane Syrup fermented with fruit and spices)++ that are the stables of Finaroka taverns.  At the momnent he produces a fairly rough white rum but hopes, in a few year's time, that he will be able to produce a premium, aged, run that will do well in the export market.
 === Wolf Valley ===
-Two old lava flows cut off this valley from the surrounding land, and while it is accessible overland, it is much easier to travel by boat.   It was named after the pack of wolves that dominated the valley, before the settlers came.  Wolf Valley has a few vegetable fields and a small orchard, but mainly concerned with animal husbandry.  Small flock of sheep roam the peninsula while cows are grazed locally, to feed on the better quality vegetation, and goats are tethered close to home, to be available for daily milking.  The village is built inside the stockade that was built during the wolf clearances, and houses a mix of shepherds and small-scale gardeners.  They produce a soft cheese and eggs, with woll and fresh meat, in season.
