Stindersgrough, pronounced stin'-derz-gruff but often known as Stingy (stin-jee) to its inhabitants, is a large hamlet or small town in the south of Ghyll, currently 16 leles from Iganefta and 5 leles from Glossfordshire.
Stindersgrough was once a suburb of Iganefta, but due to a large quarrel in -240 EC, the nature of which was soon forgotten and still unknown, it was decided to slowly eject the suburb out into the countryside. Since roughly -210 EC the plan has been to eventually merge with Glossfordshire, and indeed the town is working its way towards Glossfordshire in a semi-circular arc around the Hills of Splodji[@@].
The rate of movement since -240 EC is one lele per fifteen years, so it is expected that the town will merge with Glossfordshire in around 70 EC (75 technically, but there is bound to be bubble-motion). The town mayors have traditionally over the decades been unable to come to a conclusion as to whether the merged town will be called Glossfordgrough or Stindershire, but both towns are on extraordinarily good terms with one another and so the merge will no doubt be greatly celebrated.
@@ In -158 EC (when the Barnum Stones were moved there), it was 5 leles from Iganefta.
- Corvin Axehand - Moved the Barnum Stones to Stindersgrough in -158 EC.
- Since the removal of the Stones to Stindersgrough by Corvin Axehand in –158 EC, and the subsequent iconoclastic Raking, the precise location of the Battle has been contested, yet the story is told in every nursery on Ghyll.
- Stindersgrough (town)
- Home of the Barnum Stones (Battle of Barnum Stones)
- Corvin Axehand of Stindersgrough found some obscure fact about his lineage and sought to reestablish his birthright at Barnum Stones by meeting with the Grand Matriarch of the Carsokian Clan.
- "Doc" Rockett was born in the town of Stindersgrough around -86/1/2 EC -- the precise date is not certain
- Rockett's family emigrated to Iganefta when he was three years old.
