Riverbend
The trade leader in the eastern Union at odds with their native neighbors
Riverbend is mostly known for being a place of commerce and trade, bringing together goods from the upriver settlements and sending them westward to Nettle Lake, or bringing in supplies from the west and dispersing them to the smaller settlements that need them. Many people that live in Riverbend are at least passingly familiar with the practice of rafting on the Restile River, and a good portion of the town makes a living as dockworkers, professional boatmen, or traders and merchants.
Because of the need for regular trade with the west, and the town’s slow but steady growth, the residents of Riverbend don’t share the same peace with the Krh'shi'sn lizardfolk as their northern neighbors in Zettersberg. Caravans headed west along the marshes require a constant guard presence to keep them safe from lizardfolk raiders, who regularly attack unwary travelers on the route to Nettle Lake and Two Pines.
