Bayton

Bayton, presumably derived from Bay-Town, is a large town on the shores of The Jewel and is used primarily as a place to drop and pick up cargo from Hyvern City. While the city of Hyvern is located in an extremely well-defended area, it is also a rather unfortunate place in regards to its trade. Although it is indeed on the river, the river is narrow in places and when a mass of ships are coming and going all day, every day, blockages and delays are an extremely common occurrence.

Located a days walk east from the city, Bayton was devised as a place in which cargo could be dropped off and loaded up onto one of the three ferries that make the trip each day and save the merchants from having to make the trip themselves. Over time, houses started to appear behind the docks and loading platforms and slowly the town itself began to emerge.
