Furnof Settlement in Tarien | World Anvil

Furnof

Located on the eastern edge of the Nerrid Peninsula, at the mouth of the Mole River and southern shores of the Shrew's Maw, the village of Furnof has long been more than a mere extension of Old Nerridon. Indeed, given the proximity to the Zennon Sea and the shallow depth of groundwater, there is very little in Furnof that exists below ground. A few burrows on the southern part of town lead to deeper tunnels heading west into the heart of the Alliance but most of the village consists of quaint two story homes sided in weathered gray shake.
 
Besides the usual Nerrid industries of engineering and magic, Furnof is very much a village of the sea. Nearly a hundred small fishing craft line its docks, carrying Nerrid into the Maw to dive for scallops, mussels, and some of the finest oysters in Tarien. The water is bitter cold and the Nerrid find themselves competing with otters and the occasional seal for these delicacies. These challenges have, of course, been addressed with innovation. Various implements to aid in swimming, keep a Nerrid warm, and fend off otter attacks can be found in Furnof, the types and styles constantly changing. The same is true of the boats themselves as dozens of experimental designs can be found bobbing along the water. To date, however, no one has successfully built the ultimate boat - one that can travel underwater and collect oysters without getting its Nerrid pilot wet.
