Cresthill

Cresthill is the largest city in the realm of Averath. With a population of around 8,000 people and being the central city location of Averath, Cresthill has a bustling market and several travelers from across the realm. Built between the mountains of Von Khaldor and the Misty Willow Forest, most traveling/trade routes lead to Cresthill. The city guard keeps the peace and all arrests are brought to the lord or lady of the city, currently Lady Rose Proch.

During the daytime, most of Cresthill's inhabitants can be found in the market district. One can find any number of different races setting up shop with a various supply of goods for sale or trade. In the evenings Cresthill does not become a quiet city. With many travelers, Cresthill is home to some of the finest inns and taverns. The sounds of strolling minstrels and bards fill the streets in the evenings as ale filled mugs clash together with the music.

Magic Barrier
Shortly after Lord Albirich Proch's death, his daughter Rose took up the mantle of leading Cresthill. Within her first week of leadership a magic absorbing purple barrier surrounded Cresthill. All magic users inside the barrier were unable to perform the simplest of spells, and all magic items would temporarily lose their enchantment inside the barrier. Currently, several tents are set up just outside of Cresthill as a safe haven for magic users. Inside the city order is slowly starting to turn to chaos.
