Rivermoot

Rivermoot is a small spot of civilization that sits between the northern banks of the River Rauvin and a tributary river that runs south from the Spine of the World Mountains along the eastern slopes of the Frost Hills, where Mithral Hall sits. Aside from being a place for river traffic to find respite, this trade point is nestled on the trail between the High Hold and Nesme.

Given the history of the region, Rivermoot seems to have played the role of silent observer to the wars between trolls and men, dwarves and orcs for untold years.

One scholar of the realms has described Rivermoot as such:

"Rivermoot is a small fishing village on the River Surbrin. Small and muddy, this village has about 50 inhabitants. The Rivermoot Rangers are somewhat renowned for their skill and deeds in the area. They are led by Dave Analori, a surly, reserved man who keeps Rivermoot running. The inhabitants of Rivermoot have led a hard life. The town has been flooded, attacked, invaded, and burned several times. The rangers have earned their name in fighting off threats to their tiny village, but despite their best efforts, there are more citizens in the graveyard than there are in the town. Rebuilt again, most recently after falling prey to an attack by brigands and set on fire, the town struggles again to rise above it's misfortune. This time, however, the town seems to have a silent benefactor, as large sums of money have been donated to the cause of rebuilding, and teams of stonemasons and carpenters were sent from Nesme, working for an unknown merchant, and under orders to rebuild the town at whatever cost. It seems that fortune has indeed smiled upon the usually cloudy skies over Rivermoot.

The River Ferry takes travellers from Rivermoot to Rauvinwatch Keep or High Hold.

Riverwalk Inn - In Rivermoot, there is a well kept inn, the Riverwalk, owned by Sil Desilas, a one eyed retired warrior. Rooms are cheap, and food and ale flow freely here.

Furin's Furnace - Located in a hillside cave, this shop is run by a friendly dwarven smith. Furin makes and sells lots of different kinds of weapons and armor.

Temple of Milil - On the hill overlooking Rivermoot is the Temple of Milil. Funded by an unknown benefactor when Rivermoot burned, the Temple is newly built and incorporates the old standing stones of the hill into its construction. The priests, Coriani and Barent, welcome all those who travel though the area to stop and partake of the music that flows ever from within its walls.

Flint's Flasks - Flint Blackrock runs this potions shop, which sells many valuable and useful potions to people in the area. Flint is a talkative gnome, always eager to trade stories and learn of new alchemical compounds.

Rivermoot Grove - Hidden in the forest that abuts the Rivermoot graveyard, the Grove of Mielikki is the backbone of the Rivermoot Rangers. Thard and Mard are two brothers who keep the grove sacred. Few devotees of Mieliiki pass through the area without paying the grove a visit.

Peregrin's Magical Stuff - An unofficial store, this halfling has come to Rivermoot, trying to sell of a pile of minor magical items. Sent by his master he moves through the region, peddling his magical wares. Some unique and interesting scrolls can be found amongst the junk in his wagon, however.

A large pig can often be seen roaming around Rivermoot. He is affectionately called Lord Mayor, to the chagrin of those who really run the town." - Date of record unknown, but assumed to be after the Time of Troubles but before the Spellplague. As such the present state of affairs in Rivermoot is in question."
