Claven's Rift

Claven's Rift is a major fishing port and stone quarrying city. Built at the end of a natural bay, on the remnants of a Eusarans port, the city is a small yet bustling industrial town, focusing on granite, marble, and sandstone quarries as well as a large variety of seafood.   The docks are designed to hold cargo ships as well as sea going barges loaded with stone heading for Grayton's Lot or farther.   Founded as a camp for the early Displaced shortly after arriving in the Known World through Freedom's Gate, Claven's Rift had the resources to keep the small group going through the early mild winters. Grains are abundant for the town as are fish and seafood, stone for building, and sands of quality necessary to make quality glass.   Fresh water comes from the mountains and into the bay providing good clean water for the city.   The town is made of about 50% dwarves, 5% elves, and the rest humans and mixed races.   When the Displaced arrived at the present location of Claven's Rift, they found a large foundation or platform made of fitted stone from the surrounding mountains. It was covered with debris from the years of neglect, but after some work, they cleared off enough to build a settlement and have continued to clear the platform as time has gone on. Due to the sand and dirt that have accumulated on parts of the platform, it is unknown how large the stone area is.   Most of the buildings are made from quarried stone, old sailcloth roofs, and wooden beams. Clanven's Rift is more of a shanty town than city.
