The Old Mill

The Old Mill is an education center located in Julkoun. It is comprised of one stone and one wooden building, with the latter being more recent. Built at the highest point of the northern embankment, the buildings are flanked by a 30-foot-high waterwheel that dips in the waterway, foaming and spinning steadily in the brisk river current.

The stone-made building houses a playground that has a see-saw made out of a giant plank and half a boulder; swings made from mill sacks hung on a support plank on top, a replica mill to be pushed or pulled, nets made out of rolled up sacks and a slide made of the smooth stone that falls into a pit of soft tied up sacks.

The wooden building is made into a sitting classroom that comprises of a chalkboard.

The hallway between the buildings are comprised of trophy spaces.

The open area of the building contains an archery range as well as an area of makeshift sparring mat made of flattened flour sacks.

History
This building was constructed in the 1200s DR during the time when a man named Julkoun changed the name of the village of Shining into that of his own name.

In the 1300s, the mill was abandoned after a few accidents and a new mill was built. However, the village lacked the funds to demolish the Old Mill and was thus left barren and abandoned.

Centuries of wear and tear together with constant complains from parents whose children would often wander into for ghost stories and dares have always plagued the ears of Oliver Eljulkoun. With the profits of their suddenly renewed harvest, Elder Oliver hired stonemasons and carpenters from Daggerford and Secomber for supplies and labor to turn the Old Mill into a new center for education in both body and mind.

Durgaz and Wilhelm Weavestorm are the current teachers of The Old Mill.
