Avnican
Avnican was founded on a naturally fortifiable position: A glacial crag and tail topology with two rivers merging around the rock. This natural defensibility lead Avnican to develop into an important political center for House Hardt, as it currently houses the Jarl Galdric Greymoore, of House Greymoore. Avnican is also a major export centre for lumber, as wood chopped from logging camps upstream is floated downstream to lumber mills along the steep elevation decline in orfrock, which is then shipped down river to Aureate Bay for export. Many people work as "River Drivers", an extremely dangerous job which involves jumping between logs on the river and dislodging logs which are stuck. Many people lose their lives to River Driving, and River Drivers are often well respected and well paid for their skill.
The aristocracy and minor nobility live in the Gilded Ridge region of Avnican, which lies on the tail of the Avnican Castle Crag.
Demographics
The working class is primarily focused on the logging / milling industry.
Defences
The Crag and tail topography is extremely defensible on its own, and with the additional layer of defense formed by the bifurcating river, Orfrock castle is considered one of the most defensible locations in the Realm of House Hardt.
