Jigow

Jigow is a collection of villages that grew together into a fishing port on the west coast of Tethyr on the shores of the Firedrake Bay along The Trade Way.

Demographics

The people of Jigow have longstanding rivalries between their clans, and these competitions are celebrated, ranging from hunting, cooking competitions, and sports. Though some citizens have adopted worship of the Luxon after its introduction by the Kryn Dynasty, many feel that the presence of the drow are stifling their local culture.

Government

Durth Mirimm is the taskhand in charge of the city, working in partnership with the elders of the orc and goblin clans; Ushru representing the orcs, and Colbu Kaz representing the goblins. The relations between the taskhand and the elders is strained, as Durth Mirrim puts the interests of the Dynasty before the citizens of Jigow. Meanwhile the clans elders do their best to maintain the cultural heritage of their peoples.
