The City of Twyrif

Added 2019-09-03 13:45:22 +0000 UTC

The City of Twyrif is a major city along the North-South Road that connects northern and southern Rasfadal. The walled city is build at the point where the rivers Mygar and Dhur merge, with a castle build high up on a cliff. It sees a lot of merchants coming through town and some have settled here to set up permanent establishments. This is a good place for those that want to go shopping, but make sure to avoid The Slums, or you'll part with your gold faster than you'd like.

Twyrif was founded many years ago. It started as a small town around the newly build castle that was meant to protect the northern borders and people traveling along the road. The safety that it brought attracted many traveling merchants and adventurers. The trade that the merchants brought allowed the nearby docks to grow and the city slowly grew to become the hub is it today.

In general, Twyrif is a pleasant place to be. Streets are well maintained, there are comfortable inns and taverns and many shops and establishments to fulfill your needs. However, there's also The Slums, a dark place in the center of the city. Out of sight of the common folk the Thieves Guild runs small crime operations throughout town. The rivalry between the Thieves and Merchants Guild caused permanent tension, but at the same time, both guilds are happy to use each other's services and connections.

The authorities in Twyrif mostly turn a blind eye to these practices, only stepping up every now and then. Those acts are mostly to maintain appearances though.

However, these dark ongoings hardly affect the population directly, and much less people the people traveling through. As long as they don't cause any trouble that is.
