(Large Town) Second in population only to Sumberton, Jewelford is home to a mix of races. Halflings, gnomes and humans make up the bulk of the populace. The halflings are river traders predominately of the Faminestri clan, the gnomes are miners seeking gems in the nearby hills, and the humans are varied, filling many roles that help Jewelford maintain its notable prosperity.
The Marillach River is wide and shallow near Jewelford, posing a navigation challenge for riverboat captains who have to find the deepest channels or run aground. Across the river from the town is the Shining Citadel, Built by the Luminous Order just after the Battle of Slaughtergarde, the fortress allows the Luminaries to keep a watch on the Slaughterscar to the east and remain alert for signs of the demons’ return. PCs who work for the Luminous Order probably pass through Jewelford to go to the Shining Citadel.
