Grand Tree

Grand Tree is a historic lakeside resort village in the state of Sutherland in Armonia. Less than 200 blocks east of Rockwood, it is a popular weekend respite for it's residents, as well as residents of Newisle. It is settled on the northern bank of Aurora Lake. In addition to being a resort town, Grand Tree is also home to the Armonian Federal Barracks, a functioning historic military barracks that is also used as a youth hostel.

Geography and Climate
Grand Tree is located south of the Bay of Adelphi in the State of Sutherland, in a forest on Lake Aurora. The town is surrounded by oak trees and is in a temperate climate, where rain is semi-frequent. There are many wild animals living around the town.

Architecture
Due to the close proximity of oak trees, all of the buildings are made of oak logs and planks. The towns roads are made of stone bricks original to the city and are rarely replaced. Because of this, vehicle speeds are restricted and heavy vehicles are banned entirely. Signs within the town are also intact to the original format.

Economy
Tourism is the main industry for the town. The most popular tourist season lasts from late September to New Years because of the autumnal leaves and holiday decorations. Summer is also very popular.

Outside of tourism, the Armonian Federal Barracks constantly rotates personnel at their facility on Barracks Street. Oftentimes, soldiers are in "Limbo," meaning they have recently graduated basic training and waiting for dispatch to their future assignment. The Barracks are also used to supply the town's armour and weapon needs for hunting, and often use free soldiers to repair homes and streets. During the busy tourist season, the barracks rent out bunks for communal style experiences.

Transportation
Grand Tree Station is serviced by Regional Express Rail lines D and G to Newisle Union Station and Rockwood Central Station, respectively.

The village is also directly connected to Highway A1 via Forest Hill Road to the east and Aurora Lake Sideroad to the west. Atlands St connects the town with Rockwood directly.
