Solace

A river port

  Solace is one of the oldest Seruic settlements in the country of Serukis. It was founded only a few years after the Crossing by those endeavouring to journey as far east as they could. When they came across the mighty Serpent, they were unable to locate a safe crossing point - and none of them had the skills yet to build a bridge or a boat. This river would one day mark the border between Serukis and the neighbouring country of Caillah.   Solace today is a a busy riverbank city, acting as one of the major ports along the length of the Serpent. It has a population a around eight thousand people. They maintain a good relationship with the Caillish across the river, and trade flourishes.

I'd be interested to see how the relationship between the two countries developed over time. The natural border providing common ground but at a distance.

They've had a few conflicts here and there, but in general they find it better to have peace. There are a lot of mixed communities in the riverside towns.

Is there a corresponding settlement across the Serpent in Caillah?

There are lot of settlements on both sides of the river, though none are directly opposite each other unless there is a bridge between them. :)
