Vrist

The smallest of the main cities created by the elves, it is barely large enough to be on the map. One would hardly see a difference between it and the smaller encampments made by wandering bands of elves, but since it is located on the shores of a lake it has become a surprisingly influential center of trade. The people there produce fine products that others in different regions desire, and are more than willing to make exchanges with any merchant who might wander up the river. It is still a relatively new city, and will grow in size rather rapidly as time goes on.
The building vary in distance from the water, with some being as far as a mile or two away, and some close enough that the waves lap at the boards of the foundation when the tide rolls in. There are docks and many small boats that most of the people use on a daily basis.
