Zutlin (fortified manor)

From "In Genin's Footsteps" by Julian Verdreth, 715 TR:

The manor house is on a small hill with space on the slopes for smaller caravans to stop. The road through here can get to be a deep mud (6" or more) in wet weather.

Bilo to Zutlin is a bit over a league and a half. The land here has been worked for many generations, but still holds up well, consistently reaping good harvests when the weather permits. There are a bit over two hundred people in Zutlin, and an inn that I recommend if weather forces an early camp. The Weary Traveler is near to Zutlin keep and therefore has access to a good-sized commons. Travelers may expect to pay a half-toll for the privilege of camping on the Lord’s grounds, but the easy access to good water and the excellent greensward provide fair value.

Zutlin to Hask is a bit over a league.
