Caer-Dineval

In generations past, travelers to Caer-Dineval had to follow the rocky shore of Lac Dinneshere until after several hours they spied a small fortress (the “caer” for which the town is named) jutting up from the prominence where it overlooks the lake. Approaching from the south, a ferry out of Easthaven made the arduous trek tolerable for merchants and other travelers, but the ferry was discontinued two months ago, cutting off Caer-Dineval (and its northward neighbor, Caer-Konig) from the rest of Ten-Towns except by the overland route. Town residents are furious that the ferry service has stopped, mainly because they have not received deliveries of mead from the town of Good Mead nor Caer-Konig, and the taverns have run dry.
As if things weren’t bad enough, the town’s harbor has frozen over, and the town’s speaker, Crannoc Siever, has taken to his bed and is apparently too sick to make public appearances or press the Council of Speakers to get the ferry from Easthaven running again.
