Ferrytown

Origins of Ferrytown

Ferrytown emerged in c.15VD, due to the growing desire for an easier crossing from the West to Thrantium, tha journeying North to Dragonsmouth, and due to the fishermen that wanted to continue their livelihoods away from the Mage's guild (as a result of either curmudgeonly attitudes, fear or superstition). The town to this day continues with its function of ferrying across travellers, traders and prospective students, as well as maintaining a proud tradition of fishing.
Growing in importance, it was made a holding after the Viserian Civil War in 265VD.

Buildings of Note

The Otter's Crotch and Water Rat Inn, provide decent quality room and board to travellers through, as well as ample entertainment.
The Ferrytown market does a roaring trade for local farmers, and provides a vast array of trinkets and useful knickacks.
The Ferrytown docks provide the most time effective method of transfer to Thrantium, if approaching from the West. These docks grew in footfall and grandeur early on in Ferrytown's history, due to the large number of Elven pupils arriving from Silvarna in the West.
Skepton Manor, is the ancestral estate for the holding of Ferrytown. A Timber and brick building, it represents well the style of the 5th century VD.

In Our Story

Following the lotus compass from Qarton and aiming to make those in power aware of the returning threat of Driscoll and the fey, our band of adventurers headed towards Thrantium. However, before the bonk squad was able to enter Thrantium, they discovered that the city was in a temporary lockdown and no one was able to enter without express invitation from the Mage's guild of Viseria or a member of the Thrantium city council. Working hard not only to ensure they were able to cross but also those in need stuck on the Ferrytown docks were, Jackob, Knor Ti, Larry, Terry and Vyth completed various tasks for those on the docks and Baron Skepton so as to be able to ferry across to the city. After a rather depressing hunt of some owlbears infected by the fey plantlife, that was unnaturally returning to Everon, the party decided to blow off some steam in the Water Rat Inn's gambling and fighting den before heading over. Knor Ti was crowned champion while also befriending a gnome bard by the name of Fenton. The following morning, the bonk squad ferried over to Thrantium Dockside, ready to deal with the threat of the fey.
