Shivering Fjord

From gronkfinder

Shivering Fjord is a small town in Rothurland within the realm of Jarl Ladgerda. This isolated settlement is located on poor agricultural land, and therefore nearly all of its inhabitants survive by fishing and through trade, as the town's harbor is one of the few safe stops between the southern lands around Eyjara Bay and the northern fjord-towns.

Shivering Fjord is built around a cluster of centuries-old runestones commemorating a battle against sea linnorms in the Invelaust Ocean. A small stone shelter in the middle of the runestones contains four plinths, each bearing a linnorm skull. Though the town was depopulated between the defeat of the linnorm and its resettlement decades later, the people of Shivering Fjord still maintain the monument out of respect for the great deeds of those who came before them.
