Yorenz

Yorenz, alternatively spelled Yorentsu, is a mountain village visited by Lawrence shortly before he first met Holo. Few details of this place are revealed in the events of Spice and Wolf.

Location
The village is in the mountains east of Pasloe, a distance of about a day’s travel by horse-drawn wagon. Yorenz is likely outside of Church influence as a knight stationed at a nearby monastery on the route to Pasloe had not heard of the place.

Economy
Yorenz produces marten fur, salt, and cold-resistant wheat. The village experiences enough trade to contain a branch of a widely distributed trading company that uses “exchange transactions.”
