Meering

History shows in earlier periods that the elves and dwarves had cities in this same location. What happened to those cities is mainly conjecture. Now, the rich farmlands and mineral wealth dug from the cliffside next to the lake are being exploited by humans. The city is a sprawling mass of wood, stone, and earth buildings, and the forest to the north provides great resources.
