Sawmill

The axes fall at dawn; as the camp grows, more timber flows into your holding.

Before dawn breaks, the axes begin. Old oaks crack and fall, logs are dragged along the stream, and on the toothed blades of the sawmill they become planks. The smell of sawdust is the smell of morning in the holding.

Every roof, every scaffold, every trebuchet arm was once a trunk rising in this forest. Kingdoms grow on wood before they grow on stone; even the first wall begins as a fence of stakes.
