Yew

Yew is located in the northwest region of Britannia, on the edge of the Deep Forest. The pastoral city is named for the dense population of Yew trees that surround it. Deep within the woods is hallowed Empath Abbey, home to diligent monks, makers of the best wine in the land. Yew is less of a city than it is a collection of many homesteads. Dirt roads connect most of the buildings, lending credence to the fact that it is a community, but often a considerable distance lies between the house of the various residents.

Most of the houses are simple wooden cabins, although the abbey is made of wood and stone/plaster to give it durability. The High Court, which also houses the land’s second largest jail, is made entirely of reinforced stone, and looks like a smaller version of Lord British's castle.
