Cliffside
A small village that is under the protection of Haben because it connects the larger town to the rest of the realms. It sits in a harbor that is a break from the great cliff walls that grace the northern region of Earador. Large docks go out onto Vortex Lake to allow the docking of ships and the town is known to be home to many sailors and fishermen.
Many of the sailors and travelers stop at the Crow's Nest, the tavern known for its ale. There is also a temple of the Spirit of Death, known as Mourner's Hall. Also to the west is a group of sea caves that is home to a witch who is known for her medicinal abilities and curses.
Demographics
The majority of the village is made up of humans, with a few dwarven craftsmen. Fisherman and sailors are the most prominent profession but there are farmers as well.
