Northbank
Northbank is home to about 500 people. It sits on the northern bank of the Prin River.
/*Almost three decades ago, a group of adventuring wizards decided to make Northbank its headquarters. At that time, the village was home to only about 100 people. Despite its strategic position at the junction of two rivers, Northbank was an unwelcoming town. It had a reputation for bandit attacks, bands of drunken sailors, and general unrest.
As word of the guild spread, craftsmen settled in Northbank, responding to the wizards' demands for finely crafted objects suitable for enchantment. Many people traveled to the village, hoping to consult the wizards or study magic.
Northbank grew, becoming a center for magical research and fine crafts, both magical and nonmagical.
/*Then Harry Kyristan Drennan joined the guild. With his skills and drive for power, he quickly ascended to the seat of guildmaster. Once he decided to become a lich, he began magical experiments, using other members as test subjects. The guild suffered several mysterious deaths before Kyristan was implicated.
After the guild disbanded, only a few former members of the guild resides in Northbank.
Northbank is still home to several wizards, a few fine craftsmen, and a nicely stocked spell component shop. Its name is still linked with magic, and many adventurers travel there to discuss or learn magic.

Knowing they could clean up the town, the wizards decided to settle permanently and form a guild. Within the Wizards' Guild, they could share ideas, conduct research, develop new magic, and teach new wizards.
The former adventurers quickly set the town in order and improved Northbank's commerce.*/

About 11 years ago, Kyristan was driven from the guild. Suspicion, disillusionment, and the lack of a leader destroyed the guild within two years. */
