Rithwic is an Aluvian town on the southern end of Lake Blessed where the waters of the River Prosper narrow. It is at a major intersection of roads. The road to the southwest leads to Lytelthorpe. The western road leading north goes to Cragstone. The eastern road leading north goes to Eastham. And the eastern road leading south goes to Dryreach. It was one of the original starter towns until Martine destroyed the arrival points at the east and south outposts. Rithwic was the original home of one of the Lugian gem sellers, but he has since moved to Holtburg. Rithwic has portals to Holtburg, Lytelthorpe, and Shoushi. In the center of town there is a portal leading to the once hidden underground town Martine's Retreat.
Asheron's Call Manual Text
First Settled in 7 P.Y., Rithwic is one of the youngest Aluvian towns. Originally a small stonemason's hamlet built near a ford of the River Prosper, just downstream from Lake Blessed, it has grown quickly into a thriving boomtown, as it is the gateway to the Sho communities to the south. It once stood on the edge of the Aluvian lands, but the frontier has since moved south to Dryreach, leaving Rithwic more or less unmolested by the Tumerok raiders that harry the hinterlands. In the past year, a second settlement, dubbed East Rithwic, has arisen on the river's other side. Short description of the town.
The Prosper Span
- The Prosper Span is a sturdy bridge traversing the river between Rithwic proper and East Rithwic. It was built out of the stones that in more dangerous times made up the town's fortifications.
- An abandoned, dusty crypt lies somewhere north of town. Those who have braved its depths report that its tombs hold many sarcophagi and that Shreth and Phyntos Wasps prowl its halls. Some whisper that the anceint dead also lurk within.
