It has 3 taverns, and three inns, as well as bunkhouses for those traveling the river. All of which are currently full to the rooftops with people.

Wizard - Throt, 83 year old half orc man, balding and nearly deaf and blind, wears very thick enchanted crystal spectacles and uses an enchanted ear horn. He wears incredibly strange combinations of colored clothing, most having an almost unintentional tie dye look to them. Primarily large tunics and loose baggy pants, with thick leather slippers. He walks with a staff that seems more for propping himself up than any kind of magical purpose. His face is more wrinkles than anything else, his smaller beady dark eyes hidden below bushy white eyebrows. His large tusks are very yellowed, his beard is thick and long and pure white. Lives in a modest two story home in the old town. The place is painted in very strange swaths of color as Throt is also fully colorblind. It is well maintained otherwise as his small collection of unseen servants maintain the place well enough. Most of his first floor is taken up by a kitchen in the back, a small bathroom and a store room. The front half is a sitting room and small library with the books he is comfortable sharing with the public who come to see him for information. His upstairs has his bedroom and a much larger library/office. His basement is where his arcane laboratory is as well as a moderately sized wine cellar.
Throt is well read on the local area as he has lived in his current home and studied there for 55 years. He inherited the home from his teacher at the age of 30, a very old human wizard who had taken on Throt as an apprentice when he was only 15. Hadn’t had any children or family so left the place to Throt in spite of the protestations of the local elven families. Throt specializes in transmutation magic and has made it his life's work to master the secrets of transmutation in the hopes that he could create some kind of way to preserve his own mind for all time. He has never studied the arts of combat and has a distain for most of the flashy evocation magic as well as illusion and charm. He has however taken note of abjuration magic and has protected his home well.

Demographics
Primarily Elven with a mix of both humans, half elves, gnomes, and halflings.
There is a small group of very wealthy elites who are exclusively Elven
There also is a moderately wealthy middle class of craftsmen and merchants
The rest of the townsfolk are primarily day laborers and workers who own little
Government
The town is controlled and ruled over by a feudal lord, who controls the town guard and also owns the town and region, aside from some small estates and town homes which are owned by lesser nobility and other influential members of the town. The lord leases segments of his land to the merchants and craftsmen of the town but ultimately owns the majority of the land.
Another exception to this is the druid circle and the temples which all each own their respective temples
