CaveHaven
"CaveHaven is the crossroads of the country, yes it's not the only way to get from one end to the other, but it's the most convenient and worth experiencing at least once. If you were to mention you had travelled from Eastbrook or Northbrook and not experienced CaveHaven, then you would become punchline of many jokes for that night. It doesn't do any one thing perfectly, but you will never repeat an experience." - Fale Yidri, Bralorian official recounting their assignment to CaveHaven.
Demographics
The town is at a crossroads of terrain which lends to its greater diversity, with it being at the edge of the Berkmark mountain range it has made home by many Halflings (Sometimes refereed to as Burrowfolk), Dwarves, and some gnomes. There is also a sizeable human population but it's mostly transient given that Cavehaven is little more then a convenient stopping point on the way to other parts of the kingdom.
Government
CaveHaven is the provincial capitol of Northbrook.
Industry & Trade
The Town's economy is geared towards two very specific groups, the officials that are assigned to oversee provincial affairs and the massive amount of travelers the city hosts.
Infrastructure
The defining feature of the town is the network of caverns, some natural and some artificial.
Districts
The government district is probably the most notable in the town, it's mostly original from it's construction during the civil war. Due to the sense of position the officials had the architecture tended to be more grandiose to suit their taste, after the war it was decided to repurpose these structures for provincial administration.
As a sense of Normalcy returned to Bralor, the town became a obvious resting spot for travelers, leading to the building of what would become known as the Stopover District. This district hosted many taverns and inns for all travelers of every variety, it also hosts various forms of entertainment such as: circuses, tournaments of all kinds, competitions ranging from food eating to physical prowess, and roadside attractions.

History
CaveHaven is relatively new compared to the rest of Bralor, not much older then the Eastbrook province. initially founded as a refugee site for the displaced population of Stormhold during the Bralorian Civil war (1816 AGF-1822 AGF), it's proximity to the Fortress of Barthmont made it an ideal staging area. As the siege of Barthmont dragged on more officials got assigned to the settlement and the area began become more built up.
Points of interest
The Hall of Statues a location that has both indoor and outdoor exhibitions. It has some permanent residents such as some exceptional depictions of the 9 dragons, made from regular stone to fine crystals, but it also rotates out the statues so there's always something new to show off.
The Battle Dome is an Arena where Tourneys of all types are hosted, no matter the day there's always an event. The regular events usually include a combination of some sort of sporting event and a test of individual prowess (martial or magical).
The Trinary Hippodrome is three large buildings that host many vocal and instrumental performances, as well as the local circus and acting troupe. There are some repeat performances such as the History of Bralor play, the Bralorian Civil war opera, and a creative rendition of the Nine Dragons forming the universe put on by the circus, but there is also many limited run performances as well.
