Rendivar
Stolm Rendivar occupies a rugged peninsula along the northern reaches of Gattland, defined by stone, sea, and long memory. Anchored by ancient fortifications at Rendmort, fertile lowlands around Svinvar, and the fog-bound port of Kralzost, Rendivar’s identity is shaped by endurance rather than ambition. Its people value institutions, seasonal rhythms, and the quiet authority of places that have survived repeated upheaval.
Historically, Rendmort has served as the Stolm’s unquestioned political center, but over time economic gravity has shifted northward toward Kralzost’s harbor, while Svinvar remains the cultural and agricultural heart that sustains both. This triad gives Rendivar a reputation for stability tempered by internal tension. It is widely regarded as dependable, grounded, and slow to change, yet increasingly aware that tradition alone no longer guarantees relevance within the republic.
Geography
Rendivar is a rocky peninsula formed around Revelan's Bend as the river widens toward the The Blau Sea. Fog, wind, and shifting tides shape travel and trade along the coast, reinforcing the importance of skilled navigation and fortified infrastructure.
The Seat
The Seat of Stolm Rendivar is traditionally associated with Rendmort, reflecting the city’s long role as steward of the Stolm’s civic identity. While no formal law grants Rendmort exclusive authority, its administrative guilds have historically shaped the selection of candidates.
Economy & Resources
Rendivar’s economy rests on three pillars: agriculture, preservation, and maritime trade. Grain, smoked fish, and cured provisions from Svinvar support both local populations and regional exchange. Rendmort contributes administrative labor, skilled craft, and political ambitions, while Kralzost drives commerce through shipping, navigation, and port services. Together, these systems bind the peninsula into a largely self-sustaining whole, closely integrated into Gattland’s northern trade networks without depending on any single industry alone.
