Riverhold

Article info & outline

The largest settlement along the Lotan River, built where the river's first major fork creates a triangular spit of land wide enough to support a sizable community. Riverhold is a trade town in character, sustained by river traffic between Lake Enoch and the Dockyards. Warehouses, taverns, repair yards, and the offices of independent shipping companies line the waterfront. The population is mixed but trends toward species comfortable with damp air and the particular rhythms of river life. Riverhold maintains its own local customs and governance, and the Council's authority is acknowledged but rarely tested here because the distance from the Annex makes enforcement impractical.
