Granos

A village like any other.

Granos: a picturesqe idyllic village in central-eastern Druthenia of barely 200 inhabitants.

Etymology
The origin of the name Granos (and the older, archaic name Granoset) is shrouded in uncertainty. "Gran" means Fir tree: the question is what "os" refers to. There are three theories:


 * Os refers to 'a smell'. Granos/Granoset would thus mean "Fir smell/The smell of Fir". This might derive from the smell of Fir sap.


 * Os refers to the inlet/outlet of a small stream. Since the Granå stream runs through the village into a greater lake, Granos/Granoset might refer to this outlet and thus mean "Fir outlet/The fir outlet"


 * Another theory, not as prominent, is that "os" in this case is a degenerated form of "ås", meaning esker. Granos would thus mean "Fir esker". While not as likely as the other names, a prominent esker with fir trees does exist just north of the village center, giving some credence to the theory.
