Graignamanagh (from Treesian Gráig na manach, "village of the monks"; Elw: Kararmanaq; Babkhi: Karaghmanagh; Norse: Krannamar) is a bailiwick, town and natural headland in north-eastern Illumination. Population (1679) 25,975 persons.
The town and bailiwick are named after the mossy rock featuring on the headland (the north-eastern tip of the circuit), around which a Treesian Unorthodox Church (TUC) monastery and village, also called Graignamanagh was established. The town grew naturally around the monastery and its village and port.
To this day, the bailiwick continues to have a large Church of Elwynn presence (the Church having taken over the TUC monastery). There is also a whisky distillery managed by the monastery, the brand of which is popular throughout Elwynn.
