History

Rosswala is the ancestral homeland of the Gultig tribe, the place where the spirit of creation blessed the people with brilliant minds to create and discover. Guided by their muse they built this village on the shoreline to serve as a central distribution point for the Wojeki people. Here they created tools for the Sika, weapons for the Valok, ships for the Albastan, and saddles for the Sukro. Now assimilated into the Holy Trynnien Empire Rosswala is a larger port village, used primarily to transport goods from Trynn  and Trinata  to First Light and Kurlik's Pass. Less and less m has occurred here since the war 70 years ago, since the traditional methods require commune with outlawed spirits.

Points of interest

• Gultig's Anvil - A large stone slab near the center of village thought to be the worksite of the ancient Wojeki smiths.

Architecture

The newer constructions are mainly one- or two-story wooden buildings, packed with mud and other bindings. Older construction here is made of brilliant white stone pulled from the Vaulted Highlands in ages long past.
 The tavern is a wooden two-story building, with a small, fenced yard and softly blowing chimes by the door. It contains a small bell over the door and tightly packed tables and chairs.
 The smithy and general store are timber framed cabins, with a brown shingled roof and shiny hardwood floors. The apothecary is housed in a stone building made of the brilliant white stone, with several shuttered windows.

Geography

The coastline makes up the majority of the village with a small gap between the docks and village proper. To the north and southwest lies the great woods of the Wojeki.

Natural Resources

Herbs and spices are cultivated in traditional gardens used into production and fermentation of the Rosswalan ale. Saltwater fish can be found off the coast, but the increased naval traffic has caused the local fish population to dwindle.
