Javerhill
Javerhill is a Northlander port nestled in the southern portion of Kingsbay, within the Kingdom of Lochmoor on the Isle of Glanmoor. Unlike much of the northern kingdom, Javerhill enjoys a degree of natural protection from the harsh weather thanks to the surrounding mountains, which shield the city from the worst of the icy winds and storms that batter the northern coast.
The port itself is an essential hub for trade and fishing, with strong Northlander traditions shaping the lives of its inhabitants. Longships and fishing vessels frequently crowd the docks, bringing in hauls from the bountiful waters of Kingsbay. Javerhill’s connection to the sea is vital to its economy, and the people here are known for their seafaring expertise and shipbuilding skills, passing down these traditions through generations.
To the east of Javerhill lies Aoife Glen, a fertile valley that contrasts sharply with the rocky coastline. The glen is used primarily for raising herd animals, such as sheep and cattle, making it an important resource for the region’s food supply. The herders of Aoife Glen are renowned for their hardiness and resourcefulness, managing their flocks in the face of Lochmoor’s cold climate and unpredictable weather.
The mountains to the east and west not only protect the city from the elements but also provide a stunning backdrop, with rugged peaks rising against the sky. The mountains are home to valuable resources, including stone and timber, which are used in the construction of Javerhill’s ships and buildings. The port’s architecture is a reflection of its Northlander heritage, with sturdy timber structures designed to withstand the elements and practical layouts that cater to the needs of the fishing and trading community.
Javerhill’s relative isolation, nestled between the mountains and the sea, has fostered a strong sense of community among its people. While it enjoys more temperate weather than the rest of the kingdom, the city still shares the same Northlander resilience and pride as the other settlements in Lochmoor. The people here are deeply connected to the sea, the land, and their cultural heritage, maintaining a balance between the traditions of the past and the needs of a bustling port.
As a key port in the Kingdom of Lochmoor, Javerhill plays an important role in the kingdom’s economy, with its protected bay and rich resources making it a vital part of the northern region’s survival and prosperity.
