History

For centuries a small fishing village lay quietly on the east Brenlandic shore. Nothing much had ever happened in the quaint town until around 1238 where a young merchant named John set up his tea trading stall. A year later he was made mayor, and the village had grown into a town. A small decade later the town had grown to such a size that he felt it needed a name. He named it Thimbleton after the towns chief export - Thimble Tea. The town is Brenland's largest exporter of tea to this day, with a few 'special blends' sold on the black market.
