 :* '''Archangel''' stands as the largest and most fortified of the halfling settlements on the White Sea, its harbour icebound for much of the year but bustling with activity during the short northern summer. Founded as a refuge and foothold for halfling expansion, its docks and storehouses serve as the heart of the colony's maritime trade, where smoked fish, furs and timber are prepared for shipment to distant lands. The town's buildings are built low and sturdy against the wind, with turf-covered roofs and thick stone foundations to endure the long, brutal winters. A ring of wooden palisades and earthworks encircle the settlement, strengthened by a watchful elvish presence, ensuring that the gnolls of Glu'Bak never press too far north.

 === Archangel Market ===
-'''Butter''' produced is a hard, high-fat variety, designed for long-term storage and transport, making it well-suited for export to northern markets.  Heavily salted, packed in barrels and firkins, it survives the long sea journey to Holland and Denmark, where is is primarily of provisioning ships, military garrisons, and urban markets that need durable food supplies. '''Furs''' are among the finest and most sought-after in Europe, sourced from deep within the northern forest; sable, ermine, fox, wolf, beaver and lynx are all highly prized in Western European markets.  Pelts are received, unexpectedly, from gnoll traders, who meet upon the borders of the colony to trade for mostly, butter, metal bars and lamp oil.

-'''Flax''' is produced abundantly, and though made into cloth locally, raw fiber is bundled and exported to Dutch and English buyers, who spin it into canvas and heavy-duty fabrics. Archangel's flax is in high demand in Amsterdam and London. '''Cloth''' that is made locally is primarily linen, though some woollens are made here; it's a reliable, workmanlike fabric useful for sailcloth, sacks, and sturdy garments.  The linen is useful for northern and maritime market's, predominantly [[Ulthua]] but also Bergen.  '''Carpentry''' is a respected trade, supplying sawnwood and masts; Dutch and English shipyards are major buyers, relying on Archangel's carpenters for shaped timbers that withstand harsh conditions.  Halfling carpenters are valued for their ability to shape dense northern wood to precise specifications, ensuring that exported timbers, particularly massive beams, meet the needs of architects abroad.

-Of the many woods cut in the region, three are also shipped in from Sudborough for export, to Holland, England and the Baltic for general construction.  Select shipments are taken to Ulthuan ports. '''Birch''' here is dense and resilient, with a fine, even grain that makes it useful for sturdy interior work. '''Pine''' tends towards a straight-grained and easy to work, with a high resin content that helps it resist rot, making it ideal for structural uses in harsh climates. '''Spruce''' is strong for its weight, flexible, and less resinous than pine, valued for its ability to hold fastenings well and endure tension, making it suited for framing and ship components.

-'''Cedar''' is rare compared to pine and spruce but is valued for its natural resistance to rot and pests. It is typically sawn into planks or left as logs and shipped to Scandinavian and Baltic ports, where it is used for ship decking and structural elements; some goes to Holland. '''Fir''', straight-grained and lightweight, is mostly shipped to the Baltic, where it is used for framing and inland building projects rather than maritime construction. The Dutch and English take some fir for secondary ship components, but it is not as widely favoured as other northern woods. '''Larch''' is dense and heavy, and is highly valued for shipbuilding, especially for hull planking and keels, where durability in wet conditions is critical. Most of it is shipped to Dutch and English shipyards, where it competes with oak for naval construction. Some also goes to the Baltic, where it is used in harbor works, bridges, and other structures requiring long-term resistance to moisture. '''Poplar''' is shipped for use in hovels, interior panelling and some light framing; most is shipped to the Netherlands and the Baltic, where it serves as a cheaper alternative to more robust timbers.

-'''Shipbuilding''', driven by halfling needs, is focused on sturdy, small vessels suited for coastal and river trade rather than ocean travel.  Compact, clinker-built, they're flexible upon ice and rough and rough water, relying heavily on local pine, spruce and larch for construction.  Many are built that can be managed by human-sized sailors.  '''Woodcraft''' makes barrels especially, as well as crates, tools and sleds; all are shipped to ports along the Greenland and North seas, with barrels in high demand in English and Germanic ports.  '''Paper''', a by-product of linen production, produces rolls of rag paper suitable for bookkeeping, correspondence, and trade records, generally for the use of elvish markets.  '''Linseed''' is also a by-product of flax-growing, with sacks filled with that which hasn't been locally pressed for oil.  The seed's potential in harsh conditions makes it a staple for maritime economies, ensuring its steady movement through Archangel's trade networks.

 '''Alchemy''' includes sulphur and saltpeter from inland mines.  Pitch, tar and linseed are used to make lamp oil, along with binding agents.  These are shipped to numerous European buyers, particularly the Norwegian coast and Scotland.  '''Alloys''', particularly bronze and brass, and some pewter, made with material obtained from traders who bring both wrought metals and ores down the Dinnah (Dvina) River.  Though small scale, the halfling forges here represent one of the few sources throughout the Arctic east of Ulthua, such that it helps keep the peace with Bjarmaland.

-Birch is gathered in great quantity, its bark stripped for use while the wood is cut into planks and bundled for the journey along the shore to Archangel. Harvested seasonally to prevent waste, it is stacked and dried before being carted to landings where it can be loaded onto boats. Its use is widespread, from the building of [[Hovel (dwelling)|homes]] and [[Storehouse|storehouses]] to the making of simple tools, while its bark finds value in waterproofing and container-making. Pine, taken from the uplands, is cut where the trees grow tall and straight, chosen for its strength and size. Logs are dragged by oxen or floated in rafts, bound with rope and pole, before being sent to Archangel. Once there, they are set aside for ship timbers, heavy beams and supports needed for the colony's continued growth. Spruce, common in the lower, wetter ground, is cut in large numbers for fuel, stacked in drying racks and stored in sheds against the long winters. The tree's [[Resin|resin]], gathered in pots, is used in sealing, gluing and preserving rope and leather.
