Silverreach

Nestled on the southern coast of Ehrenberg, where the Vinterlyn River spills into the restless sea, lies the prosperous mercantile city of Silverreach. Known as the Kingdom’s southern gateway, Silverreach thrives as a hub of trade and commerce, its wealth drawn from the confluence of river and sea. The city sprawls along the riverbanks, with sprawling docks, grand warehouses, and bustling markets lining the waterfront. Towering ships from distant lands fill the harbor, bringing exotic goods—spices, silks, and rare metals—while local craftsmen and artisans trade in fine elven-made weapons, enchanted trinkets, and eastern timber. The Sable Market, a massive open-air bazaar, is the beating heart of the city, where merchants from across Ehrenberg and beyond haggle and trade, creating a vibrant, sometimes chaotic atmosphere.

Silverreach's architecture reflects its role as a nexus of cultures and commerce. The lower districts, where the river meets the sea, are dense with large stone buildings and warehouses, often covered in vines or moss from the saltwater air. The upper districts are where the city’s wealthiest merchants, ship captains, and noble families reside in luxurious townhouses with wide balconies, overlooking the bustling streets below. The city’s Silver Crescent Bridge, an elegant stone arch that spans the river’s mouth, connects these two areas and serves as the symbol of Silverreach's unbroken link between the inland markets and the sea routes that keep it thriving. Though its wealth and political importance make it a jewel of the Kingdom, Silverreach also harbors its fair share of intrigue, as rival merchant guilds, foreign spies, and power-hungry nobles jostle for influence in the city's bustling streets and hidden corners. With its mix of rugged eastern charm, cosmopolitan flair, and strategic location, Silverreach is as much a place of opportunity as it is a powder keg of ambition.
