Taporan

This small settlement is primarily a river community, and its boaters are responsible for most of the traffic on the River Tir. The river folk are brave and reckless, fond of songs and drinking, although usually not while ferrying passengers. The settlement itself is a jumble of Rashemi rough stone buildings separated by cobbled streets (a rarity in this country). The town is long and hugs the waterfront, sporting many noisy alehouses and berserker lodges. The Wolf Lodge is the largest of these, and Taporan has a much higher proportion of berserkers in its population than its primary trade requires.
