Oakheart

The lumber yards here provide the perfect place for ship building of King Edbyr Vystra’s impressive armada. Although the winters are harsh and almost stop construction entirely, the warmer months see frenetic building.

As you enter, the smell of curing timbers and industrious sounds of carpentry roll across the city. The city is sprawling, new districts having sprung up over seasons while others were left to disintegrate with emigrations of people. Stately taverns line the dockyards, piled in among magic shops and artisans, as many as possible crowded around the water’s edge. The city is alive with motion and colour, watched over by the steady Bowhands. At the docks, the waves of Dragon Lake stretch far across the horizon, dotted intermittently with great ships at anchor.

Notable Places

The Cursed Candle: An elegant adventurer's inn, which serves magical potions in addition to beers and ales. Tales here are told of the ancient blue dragon that gives the lake its name – some say that on stormy nights, you can hear the cracking of lightning above the waters from his underwater caves.

The College of the Elemental Arts: An infamous school of witches and wizards, built within what was once an aristocrat's manor.

al-Harjii's Carvings: A cluttered woodcarver's workshop, built within a copse of rowan trees outside of the city.

The Pavilion of Nasostro: A grand timber and brick theatre, home of a troupe of illusionist-acrobats.

The Honourabubble House: Gifted to the adventuring group HBB after saving Oakheart not just once, but twice, from the ravages of the cult of Kethys, this inner city mansion has been turned into an antiques shop like no other, dealing in rare and magical goods. It is also now a tavern, frequented by adventurers who enjoy the tales of the HBB.
