DESCRIPTION
Built in flaky shale, the mice of Shaleburrow use access to an underground spring and the cool underground stone to store perishable foods. They harvest many fruits and nuts using handmade shale tools. They also brew and ferment a variety of beverages. They make many of their structures and items from wood collected west of the burrow's opening. Many mice families live here because of the abundance of food, the protective nature of the town and its proximity to Lockhaven.
STRUCTURE
Shaleburrow is a subterranean town built into shale.
GOVERNMENT
Three mice act as the governing body: the female mouse most recently with child, the eldest male mouse, and the mouse with the largest fruit harvest of the last season.

NOTES
- Perry, a friend of Sable, is on the town council; he is presently the leading harvester in the town. He is a bit of an epicure, and is looking to curry favor with the Guard. While generally honest, he is very much an entrepreneur, and would like to have an "in" with the Guard to help him.
- Neary is a younger mouse with "street fighting" skill. He is not originally from Shaleburrow. He may be involved with the Open Eye Society.
- Stanley's Tavern is a large, popular establishment on the marketplace. It has wide windows open to the marketplace and is a common and loud meetingplace for visitors to Shaleburrow.
