Taporan was a small riverside settlment found in the nation of Rashemen.[1][2]
Description[]
The town comprised a series of stone buildings lined with cobblestone streets, an arrangement that was rather uncommon among towns and cities in Rashemen.[2] It featured a broad stretch of waterfront docks that were always lined with pole-propelled vessels and other river boats.[1]
Geography[]
The town was situated on the long road that extended south from the Huhrong's Road to the Golden Way, at the point where it crossed with the River Tir.[3]
Trade[]
Taporan was well known for the rowdy fishers and rivermen that conducted their business along the River Tir. Passage on a vessel downriver to Ashane cost 1 gp, with an upriver return trip priced at 3 gp.[1][2]
Notable Locations[]
The White Dragon and Goblin, and Wolf berserker lodges all maintained alehouses in Taporan.[1] The Wolf lodge house was the largest of the three.[2]
Inhabitants[]
While the town's rivermen were quite industrious, they were considered brave and even a bit foolhardy among their fellow Rashemaar. They were fond of boisterous singing and excessive drink, though maintained themselves while on the waters.[1][2]
There were a disproportionate number of berserkers living within Taporan, given its reputation as a fishing community.[2]
