- Bream Chinook Crappie.
There are a multide of towns surrounding the lake of flotsam. These mostly thrived of granting passage towards the city as well as some of there own fishing endevaurs although flotsam laid claim the vast majority making them unable to export much.
These towns where a part of the flotsam family ruled by cousins and family friends but kept closely in line With the dangers fishing now poses, the difficulties with the professions since the right of way near the shore has to go to trade ships as wel as the leadership being thrust upon those not entirely ready or suited for it these town are quickly losing population, all of them only have a skeleton population all fishing selling the occasional produce to passing ships.
- Bass
House Mercund always lived in the shadow of Flotsam. Having to forfeit the more profitable passages and fishing spots to the city. Despite this there was enough to eek out an existence. Without flotsam even though the situation is quite dire the head of house Mercund has been hit with an obvious bout of ambition. They are trying everything in there power to replace the hole flotsam left behind even resorting to some more unsavory means. This endeveur will be an uphill battle.
- Verisium, Ruled by the Broodmore family. One of the two "7th houses" two houses that claim to be next in line to the great houses but still quite behind in stature. The Broodmore family started out as a noble familiy interested in schollarschip trying to collect rare books and draw patrons to there town that way. Eventualy they found that they could not compete with the likes of Jormungandr, Solsven and Shimano, they did however get enough high profile visitors to pivot there strategy. Verisium serves as the default hub of the area in terms of trade and comberse, located next to the river which leads into flotsam it often gains takes goods from other local minor houses and then seles them off to the big 6. This has affored them a position of relative wealth as well as control over the other local minor hosues. Many of the now fearfull houses look to the Broodmore family for guidence.
local snack, Fancy duck with sauce.
- Barracuda, Ruled by the Tridorn family. A large fishing setlment that durring the age of judgment was put in charge of a rather ambitious general that married into the Tridorn family. Since then its been attempting to compete with Flotsam in terms of fish and other trade, choosing to export most of its produce and create more specialty high class fish, specilacing in the transport of fresh ocean fish to even Jormungandr. With the situation inflotsam the house is enjoying a surge of interest and investments.

- Dondurandodan, Ruled by the Dervidar family. They are the pinacle of a declining house with not much future. Starting out as a shortcut for those who prefered to walk from Verisium to the thundering valley an already obscure enough route that become even worse after it turned into the valley of dread. It sees barely enough trafict to suppurt itself trough the trade of merchents prefering caravans over ships haling from barracuda and verisum going east but even those often prefer the nortern route. There crop yields have been slowely decreascing over the years and it is only a matter of time before they can no longer afford to pay Verisium and they get supsomed by a different house.
Local snack, Reverse corn
- Nipheru, ruled by the Nuramore family, is one of the few noble houses that managed to succesfully pivot after the age of judgment. They used to be a large foothub for trade between house zetsbu but after the advent of the valley of dread they instead started to focus inwords, trying to leverage there remaining wealth and knowledge to give people enough of a reason to stay in Nipheru and work there. In the current day Nipheru exports a small quantity of food as well as some knowldge and craftsmen to those not wealthy or famous enough to garner the services of house wishmaker. In general it is seen as a not to wealty but quaint place to live. It has become a popular place to retire or settetle down after a traveling career for those whit relativly low income, but still enough to do so.
- Sirena is ruled by the simarius family, They used to be a clergy members but did not end up joining house mirbello. They have nut much in terms of grand ambitions and seek to create a restfull place with there nice beaches to relax. there stability can only be atributed to this lack of ambition as there has nut been much room for growth even with the aditional foot trafic between house mirbello and zetsubo.

- Wayu and Maipo are ruled by Arband and Urband respectivly, two brothers of the Vitunian family that are fueding and have proclaimed there wish to split there family in twaine as a result of the death of there parrents. These two town mostly relied on the trade comming from flotsam and Maipo the traffic to zetsubo. Because of this Arband has grown quite jelous and the brothers have often been discrated from ruling due to there squables with each other

- Brink, ruled by house Ostinato is the city connecting east to west. Sitting on the border of the wastes and the old road leding east they often find trade selling supplies to those who seek to traverse the great distance. It holds a central position between three mayor houses and draws many hopefulls from souroundings to its gates. It's rulers somewhat arogently believe them to be part of the most upper crust and seem to have a facination with music. Using there wealth gained from taxation and some ilicit dealings to procure great musicions and artisans. They have connection within other mayor cities having a hand in some orchestra's performed even as far as Jormungandr.
- Omurin, ruled by house Ylevar. A house of Talos who once ruled the arm mines in the north. In the age of judment they abandoned Atzul and after the dust setleted they came to rule over Omurin, a relativly large setlment in the area with some hill mines. They do relativly well owning the mines but House Ylever has never gotten over what it lost and how far its fallen. ITs family foreverer living in there own shadow.
