Susstrunk

Susstrunk is a small rural locality located in the northern part of the fictional realm of Eldoria, within the duchy of Northvale. It lies along the Sus River, approximately 40 kilometers north of the regional city of Glaren. The name likely reflects the river and a historic timber-trade workshop.

The settlement appears in medieval records from the 12th century and grew around a river crossing and timber yard. By the 15th century a cooperative guild of coopers and carpenters had formed, shaping its trade and social structure.

Susstrunk sits in a broad river valley surrounded by oak and pine forests. The climate is temperate with ample rainfall; summers are mild and winters cool. The Sus River provides irrigation and, historically, a transport route for goods.

Today the local economy centers on timber, carpentry, and small-scale milling. A riverside wharf connects to regional trade routes, while a weekly market and craft shops serve residents of Susstrunk and nearby villages.

The population is around 750 residents. The community observes an autumn harvest festival and a winter craft fair. The parish church of Saint Alder is the principal religious and social venue.

Notable figures associated with Susstrunk include the Strunk family, long-standing craftworkers, and Elias Strunk, a 19th-century carpenter commemorated in local lore.
