Immerhest

In defiance of most of the geography of the Elb Riverlands, Immerhest sits near the beginnings of the Iceshield Tundra. It stands as a major trading post between the riverlands and the tribes of the tundra, who bring in pelts, rare herbs native to the northern lands, and other rare items from the White Reaches. Immerhest, as such, is ruled by a handful rich merchants who formed a ruling council. The two most powerful merchants on this council are Ingar Hammerblast, a dwarf who specializes in the import of cold iron from the north, and Bernard Mordt, who deals in rare skins and leathers to nobles in the southern reaches of Märchenland.

The city itself is home to roughly 20,000 people from a large spread of racial backgrounds, though human, half-orcs and orcs are the most commonly seen. However, this number fluctuates throughout the year, depending on when the tribal peoples from the Iceshield Tundra come south to trade. Also, because of the enterprising nature of its citizenry, Immerhest is known as a place to for adventurers to make a name for themselves and those seeking to improve their stations to climb up the entrepreneurial ladder.
