Notes only. Move along.
In only a bit more than 200 years, the once tiny hamlet of Folktown
has emerged a center for industry, culture, and thought, and is
??considered by some to be| STYLE- refer to courts and parliment below??
"the capital city of Ghyll"!
or possibly a center for business, the arts, and scholarship.
or at least a powerful source of pollution, pretension, and some of the finest grant writing since Aminfarances.
Modern Folktown boasts one of the somewhat notable scholarly organizations of Ghyll, a powerful Industrial and Alchemical economic interests,
and is a center for the patronage of the arts.
A History of Folktown
Archeological evidence suggests that agriculture and toolmaking peoples were settled on and around around Arbuckle Hill as early as -900 EC, although the first known historical documentation of a town is the Arbugghyll Map, which depicts a very small community of serfs living surrounding a manor farm.
The next mention of the town, circa -640 EC, is one of the rare documents that survived the purge of Harandraff, probably located in the Proto-Harandraff Orthonormal Basis Set (<math>\tau , \rho, 7</math>), the reign of the "disunited king" known to modern scholars as Proto-Harandraff (<math>\tau, \rho</math>)
A Schism King denoted by Harandraff era scholars as "(4, 3) before Harandraff"
(like of the "disunited kings" before Harandraff [King_Harandraff_the_Great|Harandraff the Great]]
425 EC- Arbuckle Hill ClockTower mentioned by poor dumb Exis of Whunn in the Whunn Crazy Summer Chronicle (Whunn sees it, finds it remarkable, doesn't have a clue what its for.) Observation of its construction, however, suggests that it is much older.
300 EC- Bute University going strong, Andelphracia and Quizlar 6 kicking it, About the same time frame as Iganefta is united under Lord Glosfordshier. A golden age of Ghyll.
Odgar IV is the key piece here. Emmigration from the Bute
and all over Ghyll to hear his wisdom, or his music, or because
he told you to come and dangit, he's Odgar IV.
Citations: Schism King.
