Ringbridge & Mound

Ringbridge city, is home to Cyrus Lebeda-Ondari, Master of Ringbridge, and his wife Valoria. When Cyrus is away, Valoria rules in Ringbridge. It is an important strategic location, built to defend the bridge across the River Shrike, and on the trade route between Midmarch and Restov. The town wall ensures the population will be safe, while The Bastion defends the bridge across the river and there is a new farm in the hinterland to provide fresh food for the town.

The town of Mound, on the other side of the River Shrike, is part of Lord Lebeda-Ondari's holding of Ringbridge.

Ringbridge and Mound are becoming established as the Wool producers of the Southern Region, as well as the home of Arcane Magic in Midmarch.
