Birriwa
Birriwa sits on the coastal road at the bridge across the long Bindegandri River that runs all the way from the Kulgera Ridge in the east. This makes the city a stepping-off place for merchants willing to take a risk for a profit, and for explorers who want to travel far into the jungle. Excellent woods, ivory, and sometimes diamonds from the Kulgera Ridge are among the trade products that come down the river to the coast. Sometimes strange items from the deep jungle or even the east side of the Kulgera make their way to Birriwa. Certain ship captains make a point of stopping here from time to time to acquire items for collectors far away who are willing to pay a premium for rare things.
Another feature of Birriwa is the ancient arena, which was repaired in the past and, with careful maintenance, is still sturdy enough to hold hundreds of on-lookers for the various gladiator games held here. Last year’s team combat champions came from a small town near here. The team was not favored to win, so when the members became champions, the town renamed itself House of Gilbanung in their honor.
