Overview
Downstream from Lake Orn at the foot of the cliffs from which the Jenelgic Falls pour into the forest below lies the town of Lower Mourleonne. Twelve hundred feet above it perched atop the cliffs is Upper Mourleonne. The mighty strength of the Jhin River is harnessed to power all manner of interesting and innovative devices, under the nurturing guidance of the Engineer’s Guild.
The Falls create a ceaseless din and perpetual icy mist. Sunlight refracts through it into a myriad of rainbows, which shimmer against the quartz walls of the buildings. Along the sides of the massive waterfall is a dizzying array of water-powered feats of engineering, used for everything from grinding grain in mills, to propelling massive pulley systems that transport goods between upper and lower Mourleonne.
The architecture of Lower Mourleonne pays close attention to waterproofing, as breezes may blow the spray from the Falls across the town on a frequent basis. It also makes copious use of water features and fountains.

The population of Mourleonne is approximately 3,000 – about half Elven, and a quarter human with various other races making up the remainder.

Economy
One of Mourleonne’s chief sources of economy (other than trade associated with the annual Summit at Lake Orn) is the Boroa nut, which is plentiful in the woods around Lower Mourleonne. This versatile seed is not only delicious raw, but also a fantastic source of oil. The husks can be used to create a vibrant purple dye, and can be brewed into a flavorful tea reputed to serve as both a contraceptive and a memory enhancer (though both claims are the stuff of folklore rather than science). An extensive system of belts runs into the forest, where trained monkeys swing through the branches, flinging nuts down to their handlers to be placed onto the belts for conveyance back to town. This system (known as the Boroabeltway) is maintained by scouts and engineers who protect and repair it.
