Maashinelle is the largest settlement in Lambreth and serves as the seat of power for its dictator, Lord Kamdyn Arnefax. The town is located in the lowlands where the Tolemaida River joins the West Sellen River and has a large dockside along the water.

History

Maashinelle was founded by the Cullerton family in 4355 AR. The Cullertons were one of three rival merchant families, including the Angelidis family founders of Lockridge and Vizcarra family founders of Sezgin, who dominated the region. Fearing annexation from their neighbors, Leeoda Cullerton led a decade of negotiations between the families to form Lambreth in 4502 AR and rule it jointly as the Triunes of Lambreth.

The Cullertons were exiled from Lambreth in 4675 AR, after Tandre Cullerton suggested a delay in recognising the lordship of Kamdyn Arnefax, the victorious general of the Moonlight Massacre. In response, Arnefax killed Tandre and his wife, exiled the entire Cullerton family, and seized their property in the process of claiming absolute rule over Lambreth.

Government

As of 4710 AR, Luana Laken had been the mayor of Maashinelle since 4698 AR, and Arick Lazacek served as Ustalav's ambassador to the town.

Economy

Farms, ranches, vineyards, animal trainers, inns, and blacksmiths all work in Maashinelle, but the town's most famous export is the soft wool known as Cullerton wool, also known as Laken wool. Mayor Laken owns the looms that produce the wool, which she purchased after Lord Arnefax exiled the Cullertons from Lambreth in 4675 AR.

Maashinelle also exports finished metalworks, including military equipment, cooking pots, and flatware. Its docks include slips for building and repairing boats that span both rivers, and several taverns and inns to serve river traffic.
