Waterhome
A small settlement of 300 people. Recently attacked by Kuo-Toa slavers, and working on strengthening its defenses.
A new arrival will notice the wooden palisade that surrounds the land edge of the city as well as the cleared area of land on the opposite side of the river.
Most of the sleeping area are tents of animal skins, wooden huts or lean-tos. Three stone buildings stand out, placed equidistantly on the inside of the palisade and resonating with the sound of metal being worked and weapons training.
In the language of the tribes, the name of the place is Da'Rinnok.

Government
The settlement runs as a military camp with limited autonomy granted to civilians. The Disciples of the Masters have great influence, however.
Defences
Wooden palisades with a deep set moat filled with thorny weeds. Heavy guardtowers at the gates and at regular intervals along the walls.
Industry & Trade
The settlement is a statement of might from the The Allied Tribes , and serves as a forward outpost in a push to reclaim the old spawning grounds of the [Lizardfolk] lost to [Elf] raids.
It survives due to the coordinated efforts of the Tribes upriver and its meager trade in shellfish.
Infrastructure
The city features an ingenious system of waterworks leading water from upstream through the city and making it available at fountains next to the stone buildings.
The docks are stone and clay, though currently dishevelled after some heavy fire during the attacks.
Assets
Large supplies of shellfish from outside town. A sizeable mould production area. Gnomish smiths working in conjunction with the dwarves to make unique crossbows [Elf Deterrents]
Guilds and Factions
The settlement is dominated by the [Masters Blades] .
However, a contingent of The Masters Disciples are trying to assert dominance and direction on the project.
History
The city has been settled for two years, surviving against small raids from Orcs and Goblins. Two weeks ago, the settlement was attacked by Kuo-Toa, and a large portion of its inhabitants were slain or taken as slaves.
Geography
The town is placed on the Tears of Ice .
Natural Resources
Wood, molluscs and fish from the river.
