Riverside

From The Shire
Jump to: navigation, search

Riverside is a picturesque village nestled between Timber Stone Town to the east and Gong-Chengshi to the west, with a rich history dating back to its establishment by the early Shire Arbiter Zyno.

This quaint settlement is characterized by its unique division into two distinct components. The western side of Riverside is situated along the scenic shore. In contrast, the eastern side is nestled on a charming river island, connected to the western portion by a meandering boardwalk that enhances the village's rustic charm.

The island section of Riverside holds special significance, housing a small cemetery and the mortician's house. This hallowed ground has borne witness to centuries of history, with the oldest grave dating back to the year 1565. Remarkably, the cemetery remains active to this day, attesting to the enduring traditions of the community. Of particular note is the grave of Tyrakzhuul, remembered as the "King of Dark Magic."

The western side of Riverside is characterized by a collection of nine distinct homes. Residents and visitors alike can enjoy leisurely strolls along the picturesque boardwalk that meanders between the two halves of Riverside.

A small shrine graces the boardwalk, featuring a prominently displayed human skull accompanied by a sign that humorously reads, "Give me your soul - and maybe some onion rings." This whimsical touch adds a dash of eccentricity to the village's tranquil atmosphere.
