Rivenwald

The royal war between the Durendal princes has caused The North Western bannerman to turn their back on centuries of loyalty, seeing the recent feudal disputes as a needless act of war and death to innocents. Rivenwald has become a point of light for a newly forming human republic of Tel'Evandros. Rivenwald is the hub of Estrana, and even though each region of Estrana is ruled independantly by their respective leaders, the steward of Rivenwald holds more sway over these lands then any other. Rivenwald is recognised as the largest port in the human kingdoms of the north, traders come and go constantly from all over Tel’Evandros, even as far south as Pyramus. Rivenwald has also become the capital location for explorers looking to sail west to new lands beyond Tel’evandros, to lands that lie yet undiscovered. Rivenwald is built upon the carved out cliffs and banks at the shoreline of the Bay of Kings, at its centre is a grand bridge which extends across the waters to the nearby rocky island that holds the Lordswalk, the upper echelon district of the city.

Demographics

Lordswalk
The small island just a few hundred feet from the city has been constructed to hold the Stewards palace, where the renowned Aislynn Synnora holds rule of Rivenwald. The Lordswalk is connected by a grand bridge that stands over the waters leading towards the bulk of the city.
Traderoad
The Traderoad is the name of the bridge between Rivenwald proper and the Lordswalk. This strip is the trade hub of Rivenwald, the narrow cobblestone street is flanked on either side by a long market strip with stalls, vending tents and kiosks sitting right in front of more shops and entertainment. Goods are brought here from seafaring traders, many of which haul peculiar and foreign goods. The inland end of the traderoad splits to three roads, two of which curved downwards towards the harbour and port. And the middle road extending into the residential region of Rivenwald.
Highroad Hollow
The main gates of Rivenwald are not met by shops and inns like most towns, in fact all matters of trade and spending are focused towards the waterside districts as the majority of traffic into Rivenwald comes from the ports themselves. Instead the inland entrance to this city is the resident homes and suburban streets of Highroad Hollow which extends all the to the port districts.
Gallows Harbour
The western harbour known as Gallows Harbour is the larger port of Rivenwald housing the naval fleet which patrols the seas. Gallows harbour sees the highest shipping traffic in the northern realms. The name Gallows Harbour derives from the fleet gallows pole which are used to punish and execute the most notorious criminal of the seas.
Vivaldi’s Pier
The eastern harbour of Vivaldi’s pier is smaller then its neighbor gallows harbour. Vivaldi’s prime trade is routed in the fishing trade.
