As the boats navigate through the tranquil waters of the east river, the grandeur of the Charvanas bridge comes into view. An architectural masterpiece of stone masonry, the bridge spans a man-made narrow in the river, its three majestic arches a testament to the skill and ingenuity of its builders. Along the parapet, intricate carvings of stampeding buffalo can be seen, as if in mid-charge, their wild energy captured in stone. The buffalo appear to be traveling from both ends towards the middle point of the bridge, where they come to a sudden stop, as if in awe of the grand shield mounted just above the middlemost arch's keystone, bearing the proud insignia of the Savros.
Located just north next to the bridge, lies the grand Masses Hall. Built of stone and wood, it is a formidable structure, a testament to the prosperity and power of the city of Charvanas. This is where the lifeblood of the city flows - a hub of trade and commerce, where goods from all corners of the northern clifftop peninsula are bought and sold. Its strategic location along the river makes it the primary trade hub for the region, as most ships are unable to venture further inland.
Situated just past the Charvanas bridge lies the Temple of Lusalin, the splendor of the structure becomes increasingly apparent. Constructed of white marble carved with intricate detail, it is a grand and imposing structure, its walls towering high above the surrounding buildings.
The walls of the temple are adorned with intricate stained glass windows, that depict the many blessings of Lusalin, the deity of the river. The windows are masterpieces of art and storytelling, depicting Lusalin as a powerful and benevolent deity, who brings life and prosperity to the city of Charvanas. The colors of the glass catch the light, illuminating the temple with a radiant glow, so detailed and skillfully crafted, that they seem to come alive with movement, as if Lusalin were present in the temple, watching over it and its faithful. The priests of the temple of Lusalin are highly respected in the city, and it is said that they have a special connection to the deity. They are able to predict the river's moods and predict the flood, and they are often consulted by the city's ruling lord before making important decisions. The priests are also responsible for performing the sacred rituals that ensure the city's prosperity and safety.
Just to the south of the river, the Charvanas Keep, a fortified castle that serves as the seat of the city's ruling lord can be spotted. The keep is the center of political power in the city, and it is here that important decisions are made and disputes are settled. The keep is also home to the city's guard, and its walls are patrolled day and night. Overall, Charvanas is a bustling and lively city, with a modest standard of living for its inhabitants. While there are certainly disparities between the wealthy and the poor, the city is relatively safe and prosperous, providing a comfortable life for most of its residents.
