In the setting that I am developing for Novus 2e, called Anwyn, the starting point for most adventures into the more dangerous territories is called Hyb Ciuin (pronounced
hib see-oo-in).
Hyb Ciuin is a walled port town on the northern shores of the Bay of Sorrows.Within the city, you can find people from all of the more civilized races of Anwyn (Humans, Elves, Gnomes, Dwarves, & Dwelves). The city will even allow smaller groups of other races inhabiting the island (Orcs, Kobolds, Goblins, etc) so long as they swear to abide by the laws of the city. There are even a few unique beings, folks transported to Anwyn by way of the portals that randomly activate up on the Esker Highlands
Here is a map of Hyb Ciuin. I will be doing a product that will providfe much more detail about the city.
