Riverton is a small village in the same hex as Storn. It’s up-hill, and features a little over 1000 residents.
Alzar teleports in and arrives to the village. Riverton’s Sherriff is here to greet him, and fills Alzar in on some of the more unusual things that have been happening.
Many of the locals cross the river to get to work with their herds of sheep in the hills. In the village are obvious buildings, such as a watermill, textile making, and there is an entire place to scour the wool and prepare it for spinning. Meanwhile there are places for sheepskin tanning and leatherwork and then others for carving and cleaning the meat. Many of these buildings have been built in the last five years as more and more people move here, and the industry increases.
Obviously, not everyone is involved in the wool, meat, leather industry that Riverton has. Obviously, the sheep need to be cared for, cleaned, and animal husbandry is a major factor here. But there are also people who work other jobs, such as security, logging the forests for wood to expand or burn, and grabbing other food from nearby, such as fishing the river.
The road to Storn crests here and heads northeast. The there is a huge waterwheel jutting out from its side and revolving slowly in the river’s lazy current. A stand of houses and shops are beyond the mill here, and there is a man here, cleaning some tools off in the river as Alzar meets with the Sherriff.
