Location
Swansdown
Created by Grimly_Feindish170620Swansdown is a bustling river port town nestled along the banks of a wide, winding waterway. Founded less than a century ago, this settlement has quickly become an important hub for the trade of silver ore and other valuable goods traveling the road to the larger city of Milanda. The town's compact, walled layout is centered around a T-junction, with the main road leading directly to the docks where flat-bottomed, crimson-sailed boats wait to ferry cargo downriver. The independent-minded Village Council oversees the affairs of Swansdown, often begrudgingly paying their taxes to the larger authorities. The town has become a popular destination for mercenaries seeking easy work guarding the caravans that make the 50-mile journey to and from the nearby Graveward. Towering mountains loom in the distance, their peaks obscured by low-hanging rain clouds that cast shadows over the surrounding countryside. Despite its relatively recent founding, Swansdown has already established itself as an essential stop along the region's trade routes.

Landmarks
The Rivermaster's Dock
At the end of the main road, a large wooden dock extends out into the wide, slow-moving river. This is the domain of the Rivermaster, the official responsible for overseeing the loading and unloading of the crimson-sailed boats that ferry goods and silver ore down the waterway. The dock is a hive of activity, with teams of workers hauling crates and barrels onto the boats while merchants and traders haggle over prices. A small, weathered office stands at the edge of the dock, where the Rivermaster keeps a watchful eye over the proceedings.
The Merchant's Guildhall
Situated at the heart of the bustling river port, the Merchant's Guildhall stands as a testament to the town's commercial prowess. This grand, three-story structure is adorned with intricate stone carvings and a towering clock tower that chimes the hours. The guildhall serves as the meeting place for the town's most influential traders, who gather to discuss the flow of goods and negotiate contracts. Adventurers who gain an audience with the guildmaster may uncover valuable information about the region's trade routes and the powerful individuals who control them.
