Colisth is one of a number of prosperous villages in eastern Altanis who form an informal
trading
network. The population is mainly human and half-elven although there are also a minority
of dwarves and halflings. The wealth of the village stems from a few decades ago when an
enterprising weaver from
Bisgen suggested that the local mulberry trees were suitable
for silkworms. Since then the village has become a centre for silk-weaving although its
mulberry wine is still justly famous. The chief market for the silk is is
Renth which uses it for sails in its shipbuilding industry.
Outside the village is a stockade built so that trading caravans can have relative security
as these have been targeted by bandits in the past. The halfling community is mainly
based in the surrounding farms.
