Easting (town)

Easting is a small town east of Iriaebor (hence its name), and is typical of such small communities. Three things set it apart from other similar (and often unnoticed) communities throughout the Western Heartlands. While other communities might have a notable product, a significant nonhuman population, or a famed inhabitant, they rarely have all three like Easting does. Easting’s small size and location make it a meeting spot for dwarven merchants working out of hidden delves in the Far Hills.

Their smith work is above the human average, and individuals wishing to contact such craftsmen or to contact dwarven communities usually start in Easting. Easting is the home of Rulthaven the sage, whose area of expertise lies in the study of plants (sage ability 19) and their uses, including herbs and poisons. Rulthaven is true neutral, and is consulted both by priests of good and representatives from Darkhold.

Finally, Easting is the home of at least four noted horse breeders whose stables do a brisk trade in remounting travelers journeying from the Sword Coast to the Inner Sea. Their prices remain competitive.
