Over a two weeks period, this small agricultural town on the southern side of the Sweet Riding, was built by Dwarfs & human. Almost all the locals are human refugees from the invasion of Borovia by the Drow.


Borovia Hold – key points:

  • Trades (by river) with Eastrock etc, and (overland) with some Southern Carzalan towns.
  • Reportedly transports material for the dwarves even beyond the Sea of Grass.
  • Dwarves from the Superstition Mtns are honoured guests in the town and the Dwarves often meet outlanders & other races safely there rather than risk hosting them in the Mountains.
  • Includes some tall towers with a commanding view over the Sweet Riding.

Erratically, ships sail from Seagate (sometimes AnteCarzala) out to Borovia Hold ... round the coast to Dolphin Bay, then nominally up the River Running; Returning ships are rare.
However messages may be sent quite promptly via Schönhausen Haus (formerly a ruined pump house or bath-house) — assuming there is a namer on hand to check them & their deliverer before possibly being accepted.


GM/Player Notes: Within strolling distance of the Guild, Schönhausen Haus is a scry-shielded, securely rebuilt, detached dwelling.
A modest drinking fountain outside encourages the presence of loiterers. Inside one room is a small pool inside that can transport people & their possessions to/from a similar pool at Borovia Hold.
