The cove that remembers

Near the edge of the The Frontier Forest, a curved section of the The Forest Riverhas segmented from the main river and it has eroded a rock protuberamce, creating a small cove, hidden beetween the trees and the river.
At the end of the The unification war, this place was found by refuges runing from prosecution in the peninsula and taken as a temporary setlement, to protect the river from those thinking about persuing them into the forest.
Over time, most people who use it for refuge, either took into a more nomadic lifestyle or founded other settlements deeper into the safety of the forest, but this cove continue to be maned, as a early warning system to spot outsiders comming into the forest. This was the group who made contact with the subversive group. After this first contact, the cove importance for meetings and introductions has grown.
Currently, even when the work with the Ruins explorations for all! group, this cove is not one of their public bases, which are earlier in the river. It is used instead, for comerce and diplomacy. This is the first point of contact of any Serenian trainee which is to receive training in the forest. And it is normally the first point of contact of any forest soldier, to be stationed in Sea Fortress in the near future.

Demographics

The Cove and its training grounds host around 1000 people at any given points. From that number, around 70% of them will be in the training grounds and 30% of them in the cove itself.
