The Black Poplar
Watermill
The Black Poplar, also known as Poplar Mill, is a watermill located in Walden in the District of Vöhren. It is owned by the Walda family and features three water wheels. Two of the wheels are connected to the main building and are used for sawing and operating an oil mill. The third wheel, located in a separate building on the opposite side of the water, powers the flour mill. The wheels are driven by water from the river Holle.
The mill in the Vöhren district is utilized by many residents from surrounding areas. In addition to serving as a mill, its central location makes it a valuable meeting place.
Method of usage
The mill is primarily used by the residents of the Vöhren district. They can use the mill for a fee. Those who have a share in the district pay a small fee or no fee at all, while those without a share pay the full price. Non-residents who want to use the mill need to pay an additional fee. The most common method of payment is in the form of produced products, such as flour, oil, or wood. The miller can then use these products or sell them at the shop or market. It is also possible to pay with money; however, this method is often more expensive. by Zev Chafer (original art)
Location
The Black Poplar is located in Walden. Walden is a neighbourhood in the southern part of the Vöhren district in Amt Aldáer. It has been owned by the Walda family for decades, with Sjoerd Walda as the current Landlord/Baron. The main house on the land is the farm Grennsted, where the Walda family resides. Scattered around the area are small farms, mostly owned by cottagers or used by Grennsted labourers.
A large part of the neighbourhood is covered by Grenn forest, an ancient forest with a high ecological value that is protected by the Walda family. Additionally, sections of the rivers Kild and Holle are also protected due to their contribution to the biodiversity of the neighbourhood and district. In addition to the main farm Grennsted, there is a watermill called ""The Black Poplar"" located on the banks of the river Holle. The mill is used not only by residents of the Walden estate but also by people from other areas. Currently, the watermill is used as a flour mill, oil press, and sawmill.

I came across your world by mere chance. I really love your design. It is so clear to navigate and read. It is perhaps one of the best I have seen here on Worldanvil.
Thank you very much. :D
