Winterhaven

Winterhaven is the northern most city before the fortress of Frostwall and the mountains that separate Erathell from the Ice Bound Wastes. It lies at the foot of the mountains and the northern edge of Duskwood. The large stone buildings stretch from the foot of the mountain and up through the cliffside, making the only way into the city an easily defendable passage through the city wall, known to the locals as the Big Step. From there the roads wind up through the cliffside.

Each level of the city is called a Skif, with the first Skif being the area around the wall, and up to the third Skif where the large Winterhaven Keep overlooks the entire region. Some of the houses in Winterhaven, as well as Winterhaven Keep are halfway carved into the mountainside, making it easy to heat the houses in the perpetual winter of the northern regions.

Winterhaven is selfsufficient, with many farms stretching well into the warmer northern areas of the Reach, and the northern parts of Duskwood are excellent hunting grounds for game. Many Winterhaven hunters are famed for using the northern Erathellian Golden Eagles when tracking animals through Duskwood.

While Winterhaven is too remote to be of any interest for trade, they have a trading agreement with the Crown, to supply Frostwall with food and resources.

Winterhaven is governed by House Aquila, residing in Winterhaven Keep, which is often refered to as The Spear, by the locals.
