Editing What Thunder Brings (section)

===High Home===
This large town has a population of roughly 5,000, mostly of dwarves and humans, though there are a variety of small families and new settlers.  It is located below the treeline of the largest local mountain, placed on a defensible outcropping of rock. It is ringed by low walls and maintains an active levy to defend against goblins and the monsters of the mountains. It serves as the center of the High Home District, and is supported by the farming and herding of the rural communities around it. The district, including the town, has a population of roughly 20,000.

High Home is roughly divided between the dwarven half and the human and others one.  The dwarves moved there several centuries ago when their mountaintop city-fort was crushed by goblins. The streets are cobbled where they aren't bare stone, and the town has a small market, a dairy, a village blacksmith, and a redsmith in the walls, with a smelter and a tanner outside the city. High Home operates a substantial quarry that supplies most of the province with stone, a small tin mine that supplies all the tin goods to the province with a small surplus of tin ingots besides, and several small iron mines that supply the district with a small surplus.  The dwarves handle most of the mining.  The other half of town does most of the farming, with some growing orchards of alpine apples and gardens of alpine strawberries, and the rest herding their distinctive brown cattle for milk and meat, or their large mountain sheep for mutton and wool. Hunting is common pastime.

The town has grown quite a bit and space on the rock is getting a little cramped; the dwarves have started adding second stories to their buildings, while the humans are digging cellars in the stone below their homes.
