Argen’s Bridge
Argen’s Bridge is the biggest city without Drakken presence. Drakkens avoid water and seldom make their way to the port city where lake Dividier is hard to avoid. Most mortals living fully in Argen’s Bridge are in shipping business one way or another.
The smell of fish is ever present and the city rarely quiets down. Ships are being built and repaired at every hour and travellers walk through the city daily making it difficult to calculate how many mortals exactly live in the city.
The lake Dividier brings the city important business and a way to feed families. Fish is there to be fished in abundance, if one isn’t too afraid of the water. Even if the city is near a lake, not many have ever learned how to swim as drakkens avoid the water and don’t want mortals to have anything to do with it, either. Argen’s Bridge is filled with horror stories of the great sea monsters that swim through the Salt Marshlands to the lake Dividier.
Because the lack of drakken presence, drakkenbloods have filled the void of evil overlords. They have created their own society in the middle of the city called the Percentile Ward that has magical wards protecting it from mortals without Drakken Marks. They have made Argen’s Bridge into almost its own country.
The amount of cargo going through the city weekly, has caused for many drakkens to be worried for their shipments. The city is filled with crime and it isn’t a safe city by any means. Argen the Peacemaker has sent his own group of soldiers there to look after the city and many organisations have done the same causing the city to be filled with private soldiers and guards who serve different masters.
The amount of guards and law enforcers hasn’t made Argen’s Bridge any safer for mortals to roam. Free folk are the last mortals to be protected by any guard since they are no one’s property and therefore without value.
The Long Road splits through the city connecting the Portside to the Town Centre
Percentile Ward is to the east of Town Centre near Eastern Run that connects to the Portside on the east
Western Run goes close the shoreline and goes beyond the Portside, all the way to the city walls
