Shallows

Shallows is a settlement on the River Surbrin near to the Spine of the World. Its leader is the wizaard Withegroo Seian'Doo, who has his own tower, a thirty foot (9.1m) high stone cylindrical building, from which hangs a pennant depicting a pair of hands surrounded by golden stars, on a red background. Its population is around one hundred, of which all the adults are capable of fighting with weapons. The houses are mainly of stone construction with supporting wood.

History
Shallows came to be when Withegroo built a tower for himself. Noting the relative safety of living beside it, and the trading opportunities it brought, people began to settle around the tower.
