Sallowsport

Sallowsport is a small town where the West Water river meets the Ashflow river, about halfway between Ashport, Copperton, and Goldmead.

Overview
Sallowsport is one of the oldest Brician towns in the Crucible. It was founded as a trading post for Brician hunters and farmers originally, and was one of the settlements most attacked by the Karus.

Sallowsport has ebbed and waned with time. The town used to be bigger, but series of massive floods have washed away parts of the town in the past. The soil in the area is highly fertile, however, making it a great resource for farmers. Sallowsport produces a huge amount of the grain eaten in Ashport, as well as what is shipped overseas.

Sallowsport has long ties with Goldmead, to the south. The towns have been rivals for a long time, though the rivalry is more important to the folk of Sallowsport. Those in Goldmead could care less what the people of Sallowsport think of them.

There are few attractions in Sallowsport for the sophisticated. The town is mostly working class, in staunch opposition to its neighbors in Copperton and Goldmead. The Lord of Sallowsport, the self styled "Count" Cynnet Paraphos, is a man of the people. He is known for granting gifts to those who serve him well, but is known to casually exile those who disagree with him. More than one cleric of Brigga has been thrown out of town because Paraphos took a dislike to their chastisements.
