Stilfs

A Coastal Beacon Amidst Treacherous Terrain

Stilfs is a resilient town situated on the coast at the mouth of the river Eissack, encircled by hostile swamps and treacherous landscapes. Despite these challenges, Stilfs thrives as a primary harbor for goods from Jarlshelm and beyond.

The settlement is perched on towering pillars that delve deep into the seabed, adding a robust layer of defense. Heavy stone fortifications and iron reinforcements bolster the town's walls. Three prominent gates—East, West, and North—serve as entry points, each guarded diligently to regulate access with proper permits and identification.

The harbor bustles with life, a hive of activity where merchant vessels converge to trade. The port, located where the river Eissack meets the sea, features docks made of sturdy wooden planks and metal beams, ensuring a secure berth for cargo ships ferrying goods from larger vessels anchored in the bay.

Within Stilfs, cobbled streets weave through clusters of humble cottages and grand manor houses. At the town's heart lies an old market square, vibrant by day with merchants from distant lands selling their wares. By night, the square transforms, echoing with tales of monsters from the surrounding swamps and ghostly apparitions drifting through shadowy alleys.
