Avengmil
Crossroads of Riombara
The townsland of Avengmil is a hustling yet pleasant land, populated by seasoned traders, prosperous merchants, proud fishermen, and all sorts of colorful entertainers. Well-travelled roads from every corner of Riombara wind their way through the region, leading directly towards the neighboring cities of Athol Margos and Rines, south to the mainland, and north through Cjelegy towards the Isle of Ajitmon. The people of Avengmil make their living by plying the trade of these roads, offering fine (if a tad provincial) wares to the nobility as they travel through, and gathering usurous profits from the taxes, customs, and excises imposed upon the commonfolk who must pass through on their way to the city markets.
The swift, salty winds from the Eastern Ocean mingle with the placid breezes from the Inland Sea to the West, creating a most agreeable climate. The ripe and ubiquitous odor of fish pervades most of the coastland, as the Avengmillian people love their seafood, while the interior of the region abounds in the smells of wild flowers in the spring and summer, and rich pine throughout the colder months.
Entertainment is widely available along the major roads, with such diverse distractions as jugglers, fortune-tellers, thespians, knife-throwers, courtesans, and self-flagellants, but the prudent traveller should keep a hand on his money pouch at all times, for pick-pockets are known to infest the roadways.
Travellers are also advised to observe the local custom of riding on the right side of the road, and to refrain from littering.
Memorial Hall of Martyrs
The townsfolk has recently built a small memorial hall right next to the town center, in the memorial of their deceased former lord, Jorn Ironborn of House Arn. Inside the symmetrical inner sanctum, the portrait of Jorn is placed in the central, while the displays of Jorn's last used axe and plate armor stand are lined along. At the outer sanctum other monuments of famous martyrs in the Lion Rose army are also exhibited.
Custom in Avengmil
It is reported that a special custom has been spreaded among the inns in Avengmil. As a gesture to remember their lord, the locals would usually cry out "For Jorn!" before they kiss the cup. Depending on the mood of the bartender, local drinkers will usually be granted a free round of spirit after the magic word. Rumors say the custom was invented by the legendary Jorn's scribe.
