Midport
Midport, a quiet port town at the Tumblestones River mouth south of the ice lakes, thrives on modest trade, serving as the last stop for those journeying into the icy expanse. Life here is simple, a close-knit community of men, halflings, and half-elves navigating narrow streets with quiet determination. The humble port buzzes briefly when a ship arrives, offering essential supplies to passing adventurers.
The artisan district hosts skilled gnomes and dwarves, crafting quality goods on a smaller scale. The Tumblestones River, a lifeline, adds a serene touch as fishermen cast lines, and the gentle flow echoes through the streets. Midport, though lacking city vibrancy, is bound by a strong sense of community. Evenings bring a peaceful calm, with residents gathering in taverns to share stories and find contentment in the town's unassuming charm—a haven before venturing into the unknown.
