Water's Edge
The last bastion of civilization before entering the Kilimenga Expanse. Trappers, adventurers, archeologists, and historians gather here to venture into the jungle. There are very few imports to the village since the journey here is so dangerous.
Water's Edge sits on the shore of Llyn Niwl. The people here grow more wild than their northern counterparts. Each even the children are known to hunt in the jungles around them. They have a respect for the jungle refusing to lay ax to any tree that still holds life, as a result many of the homes made of wood are in disrepair. Most opt instead to quarry rocks from the Elder Road, which carries it's own dangers.
While Llyn Niwl is almost constantly encased in fog the bustle of the town seems to drive it back. Some say in the old times if two people were walking they would need clasp hands so as not to get separated. Only the hunters of the deep forest seem afeared by the somewhat recent change, telling tales of the horrors that reside in the dark wood.
Water's Edge is home of most ghost stories told around the kingdom. There are evils that lay in the twisted trees that are older than mountains that surround the Kilimenga Expanse, evils that only miles of earth could contain. Hunters have brought home stories of deer with mouths full of sharpened teeth that stretch all the way back to their ears like a crocodile's, groves of stone men, beast's whose slumbering breaths shake the very earth. But all pale to the spirits of the trees in viciousness and cruelty. All hunters know that to kill a beast is the law of the jungle but to think to lay claim to any part of it is to accept one's own death.
Because of the rigor of their upbringing and the skill required to hunt this wilderness each denizen of Water's Edge is worth five soft bodied desert dweller of the north. As such during the final battles of 1st Galmere War the warriors of Water's Edge proved instrumental in defense of Rubi'Sarha and the winning of the war.
