Physical Description - The smell of fish and malty beer pervades the atmosphere as a traveler passes through River's Bend, the citizens in a cheery mood most of the time. The stone and mud brick houses have flat rooves with berry and vegetable gardens on top, to help with alcohol production and to supplement the mostly fish diet the townsfolk have. On a typical day one would see many farmers, fishermen, and gardeners, along with townsfolk dressed from head to toe in the finest most colorful, but not ostentatious, silks from Zarlan compliments of the local weaver Carianne Webworks. Expect to see citizens armed with a rapier and flintlock pistol, rather than field plate and broad swords.
