Northbend

A fairly bustling river-port on the northern end of the Kingdom of Arnweth. Ruled by Arch-Duke Olsic, Northbend has its share of criminal enterprises. It is also home to Tallheart Keep, an ancient castle the ruins of which are braved by hearty adventurers in search of quick riches and (often) a quicker death.
