Palebank Village
Just north of the Flotket Alps, Palebank Village is a port on the Frigid Depths situated against a low cliff boundary adjoining the rolling hills and fields of the glittering diamond-like Crystalsands Tundra. There is a small dock located on the adjacent sand-and-snow beaches, fifteen feet below the northern cliff. The docks are built to house roughly a dozen ships, most of which are fishing vessels or ships carrying supplies and travlers between the village and nearby Eiselcross.
Palebank is a somewhat rundown village in a climate that is wintry year-round. Defense structures include four watchtowers and a ten-foot-tall enclosure made of sharpened logs. The village is otherwise is comprised of over a hundred small buildings. It is too small to have split into separate neighborhoods, so the layout of the town is somewhat haphazard, consisting of a large roughly circular main road and smaller streets and alleys breaking up the center. The narrow streets are muddy and slushy with piles of snow pushed to the edges against the rickety, rustic buildings. There is a large meeting hall decorated with curling tusks over the door and a sign reading "Winter's Tit Lodge."
The village is not far enough north that it goes long periods in which the sun never sets, as in Earth's Arctic Circle.
