Generally referred to as "The Mill Up the Hill", the Dories (pr. dor-iy-ess) Mill is actually a small wind farm, with 3 separate mills grinding the corn. It lies on upland ground about half a mile north-east of Yaleth, near the village of New Dories. Owned by the Fortaine family, the Mill is an old site but with new buildings; the old windmills were replaced in 1284 by 3 larger & far more sophisticated ones, though one of the elder constructions left to stand out of sentiment. The new mills, made of the blue-red clay of the Campbells and mounted on sophisticated iron turning devices, were the most advanced of their day and still some of the largest in the country, though some architects shake their heads fearfully & say it will all collapse in ruin one day. Around the mills a mini-village has spring up; warehouses & storage rooms, an inn & stables for the traders & farmers doing business, some offices and a small bakery. Mainly, though, the mill is just a middleman, turning the wheat of the Central Plains into flour to be sold to the Cities' many bakers & hostelries. The workers are almost exclusively Cities residents, mainly from Jalkin & Yaleth, carts laid on every day by the mill to take them to & from the site. The Mill Up The Hill is generally seen as a good employer, giving reasonable treatment & a good wage to its workers, though conditions in the mills themselves are fairly horrendous, tending towards deafening noises and choking dust. It has less friendly relations with rival mills, however, rather dominating the market and given to price-cutting to maintain this dominance; it also takes an autocratic & at times ruthless approach to the farmers who supply it. Management of the Dories generally falls to the younger but more able offshoots of the Fortaine family. Lord Holstace himself did a stint in the 1310's before becoming family head, and the reigns are currently held by Yonath Brenton, a niece-by-marriage of Holstace.
