East Bank
A trading city in the Duchy of Chonitar of The Kingdom of Vicodele. East Bank is twin city of West Bank in the Kingdom of Nijkum. The two sit across the Niawood River from each other. Numerous bridges connect them, though both maintain separate town councils, guilds, and customs.
They both sit near The Jucora Depths and occasionally do trade with the Elves (Jungle Elves) who live there. Though sea trade does occur here, the port cannot handle huge trading vessels like those of Tippor City or Vamman Bay.
The political situation between Vicodele and Nijkum is sometimes tense. In the occasional times of war, the citizens of The Banks have traditionally agreed to local peace agreements.
Government
A town council of small nobles and official positions. It is not a free city, and owes fealty to The Duchy of Chonitar. This relationship sometimes causes tension.
Industry & Trade
Sea trade occurs, but is limited by the small port size and nearby Sea of Aekelon. River and overland trade is also common.
Infrastructure
Wooden bridges span The Niawood River and connect it to West Bank.
Architecture
Wood from the surrounding forests are commonly used. There are no nearby quarries.
