The Rivermond Region stretches along the largest river in the country. It is called Gylder; pronnounced [Guyl-deer], the lower Gylder between Rivermond to Rivertown and Upper Gylder between Rivertown and to its end within the Dominion. One of the main myths about it is that there was such conflict in the region that a divine power drew a line in the dirt and made the river split the region in two in order to stop the fighting. People came together and built bridges and came to terms. The city and Capital of Rivermond was established at the coast where the river comes in. The city is massive and have four distinct districts that are always growing. Along the Gylder river other towns have settled and the Knights of Rivermond has always watched over the River.

living there. Many common lords and ladies of the city while the
Knightly nobility is divided into two sides; the Lion Lords and the
Stallion Lords. While some resides within the capital some have been

RivertownThe town of Rivertown came to be as a result of people moving to the main crossing of the Gylder river. As more and more settled the less space was left and people began to build houses and shops on top of the bridge. Eventually the bridge itself became the town and got its name Rivertown. It is now a great trading hub for travellers and sailors who sail up the river. Rivertown has become a wealthy hub and most common folk are told not to cross the bridge unless they have money to spend. New shops and stalls come and go on a weekly basis. The Lordship over Rivertown has not been settled and remains under the direct control of the Arch-baron. Places of interest.

NorthgateThe
main gate and road into Rivermond from the Dominion. Heavily defended
and fortified town where some have come to settle after joining the
local guard. The Hauser
family watch and maintain the town as well as all defenses. Majority
that live in Northgate are part of its defense so crime is almsot
non-existing and everyone knows one another. The Dominion have a close
eye on their activities and Dominus patrols do come through despite the
lack of trouble. The town sits upon a large silver deposit which has
made outside miners interested to set up business in town however Isenburg Hauser have yet allowed anyone to do so. Only trusted locals are mining the silver in order to keep Northgate running smoothly. Places of interest.

NorthvikNot far from Northgate sits the small town of Northvik, what was once just a bridge across the main river has not become a small stop for travellers entering Rivermond. The town happens to sit upon a silver deposit, some believe the same that the mines of Northgate are mining which has made some set up mining businesses in Northvik after being rejected up in Northgate. However many lives have been lost due to poor mining and greed. Many of the mines have ended up being flooded due to mining close to the river. People who live in Northvik have given up on that aspect and warns newcomers to mine at their own risk. Places of interest.
