The River (Lockshire), The Slice (Miar Moshea), The Road

The River (Lockshire & 1/2 Elves)

The River ran a little more than 500 miles, its newest portions connecting the port city of Urbport to Ferraq Tulle, before continuing on to the trade city of Bier De Weitz in Lockshire.  Three-Hundred and Fifty miles of The Road lay in the Elven Duchy, the final one-hundred and fifty miles in Lockshire.  The lands surrounding The River on the Lockshire side of the border have become a laborer’s paradise with skills in high demand and salaries even higher.   Many retiring adventurers have laid claim to lands near the road, building homes and operating business along the rich

thoroughfare.  Attacks and piracy are rare along The Road due to the cooperation exhibited by those that live along the route. Fierce merchant competitors will still defend their opponent’s deliveries from attacks and theft, the safety and success of the road being more valuable than any one shipment.  On the Lockshire side of The River several communities developed, with some businesses from those communities becoming so successful they were able to open up additional stores along the road.

Cranky Jack’s: If you see a broke down wagon or building along The River its likely a Cranky Jack’s.  The merchants of Cranky Jack range from half-elves to Halflings, further north even half-Orcs.  Cranky Jack’s manipulate small trade along the River, acquiring for less what they can trade for more.  Cranky Jack’s often operate as middle men facilitating trade of magic or other black market items. Besides trade, every Cranky Jack merchant is also a skilled healer and The River is rife with tales of The Cranky Jack’s generosity to travelers in that regard.
