Port Pond
Port Pond is a bustling fishing town located on a peninsula on the north coast of southeast Moethe Havn. From the Pond, it is known for its freshwater fish like catfish, trout, and tilapia. From the Port, it imports and exports good to and from other hwells, particularly Caivh Hwell. As a result, the town has a sizeable gnome minority. The town has a sizeable concentration of Prandil humans as well, and Prandil influences can be seen in the architecture, dress, and adornment of shops, buildings, and other structures.

History
Farmers started fishing at the nearby lake (called "The Pond"), and eventually established a nearby town located between the Pond and the Bay, establishing what is now known as "Port Pond." Its fish support trade to the nearby towns via land or sea routes, to Ghadjo, Sogn, Moethe, and even Caivh. Its proximity to the coast has livened its taverns and inns, establishing itself as a popular stop for anti-government folks and factions. Caivh Hwell's incoming trade to Moethe typically flows through Port Pond rather than Taflshir or Briggeton, which are the typical routes for the other Hwells. Because of this, a sizeable gnome minority can be found in Port Pond.
Tourism
Port Pond's taverns and pubs are frequented for their lively atmosphere and unregulated spaces for conversation. The town contains shops selling gnomish trinkets.
Architecture
Wooden and brick houses, stone houses, and a number of Prandil-style buildings including temples, bell towers, markets, buildings, and businesses, with their curved rooves, glistening tiles, bold colors, streaming banners, and simple yet gilded and ornate ornamentations and geometric floral-like designs.
Geography
The landscape surrounding Port Pond is gentle hills, less suitable for farming or grazing, and The Pond which is surrounded by lake grasses and whose surface ripples with the constant breeze.
