The Highlands
Up on the mountain-sides from the Karth River, the Highlands are seated and they overlook the rest of the town, only second to Sky Haven Temple. The Highlands is mostly populated by rich yet quiet farmer-folk who tend to keep to themselves but are welcoming none the less. A winding stone path of cobble makes it’s way from the Town Center upwards and gradually becomes stone steps that form a snaking stepping grounds throughout the area. Small farms also populate the area, mostly of wheat and vegetables but also housing goats and chickens.
Lodges and double-story houses form the default appearance throughout here, arching out in a semi-circle pattern from the nearby overlook. Descending from the mountain sides are carved dragon heads, like those upon the nearby Blade’s temple and it is quite clear that much influence for this section of town originated from there.
From the main circle of houses to the west lies the two rival guild buildings of the Fighter’s and Mage’s Guilds. With their banners flying high and bearing their insignia, it is quite curious that both factions chose this small city as their home.
A little down from the Highland’s is the entrance to the Guard Barracks and their forge, tended by a huge orc called Gurlag Gro-lazugh, who doesn’t like visitor’s poking around but will sell them new gear if needed. Near him is the deep well and the roadway that leads over the hills to Soljund’s Sinkhole, a moonstone mine and stone quarry.
