Animal hides and game meat flow from Brackmere Wood, the Plains of Relai, and even the basin of Cragehollow to pass onto the ships of the Blue Fleet, and beyond to trading ports across the north. These same ships of the trade fleet bring in the plentiful fish of the Glasrial Coast to be smoked and salted for distribution to the citizenry of River’s End, and as far afield as Stonefallow and Ironcrag. Brackmere is a bustling place, known for relative safety, economic opportunity, and as a sanctuary for those looking to spend their coin on sweet-stalk vodka and Kenran ale. As a fortification Brackmere is formidable, being surrounded on three sides by the Trorane River fork and the navigable delta on the fourth. A siege of the city is only traditionally possible by traversing the four stone causeways, known as the Four Stags, that lead to the city’s main gates. Though the delta is navigable, however, the final outlet of the Trorane River as it feeds into the Bay of Kaen is prone to blockades. To help protect against this vulnerability, the oceanside fortification known as the Sable Spire was constructed.

In recent generations it has also come to serve as a shrine to the governing force Lacra, with pilgrims ranging from across River’s End to pray and ask for blessings of the Waves of Life.

Run by the wealthy Rambullet family for twelve generations, the Equestry is one of the largest complexes of its kind in all of Aethoria. Boasting dozens of stables, pens, tack lodges, and housing for its extensive staff of trainers and craftsmen, Avolire Equestry is a small village in its own right. Beyond the primary economic exports of River’s End—namely fish and game-stock—the sale of Brackmere Iron-Hide horses throughout Aethoria accounts for a significant portion of the wealth flowing into the province.

Hunters and hidesmen use Fort Twobrew as a staging point for expeditions into the surrounding forests and mountains. The fort has long been a point of contention in the dealings between River’s End and Stonefallow, with the latter claiming that the fortification serves as a base for Kenran-sanctioned poaching parties that range into Stonefallow lands. This accusation is vehemently denied by House Kenra and Lord Garrick. Nonetheless, Fort Twobrew has seen its fair share of battles between the forces of River’s End and Stonefallow retainers.
