Riddle Forge

This large Dwarven Tavern is the only sign of civilization for miles. Although the patrons are mainly dwarves, there is still a large gnomish presence at this location. The location is next to a river, on one side, where the Inn resides, there is a great green field that extends to the southern, more inhabitable parts of the Peninsula. But, across the bridge to the other side of the riverbank is The Scab- a desolate wasteland of hard red cracked earth and active volcanoes... and it is rich with Ithorium, Adamantium, and Mithril veins, waiting to be exploited.

As was explained to The Forged, this tavern is of great strategic importance. "I am Roger Redforge, captain of the Guard of Riddleport. We are here on a mission to secure the tavern and bridge area. As you know, this bridge is the last working one between the Kingdom of New Elenna and The Scab. Though most in the world would see this bridge destroyed in some vain attempt to keep the evils of the Scab away, those of us that settled RiddlePort knew that the Elennian peninsula is too small for all the Wold's populace. Besides, the Scab is rich with volcanic activity, and thus minerals for mine and export. Now you see the bridge's worth? This tavern is the only refuge between Riddleforge and the southern civilized areas. Holding the Bridge and the Tavern is vital to our survival."
