Mowten (pronounced mow-TEN) is a town on the coast of the Sea of Khoros, south of the island of Nivaria. After an attack by crag trolls devastated the settlement in Y9962*, and the fires set to drive them off destroyed what was left, the areqal of Mowten, Taqer an Tumar, decreed that the town be rebuilt on stilts out at sea. Though an Tumar claims this was done for defensive purposes and in keeping with the traditional building practices of many coastal Meklovian settlements, most residents of Motwen believe it was primarily to cement her own authority.
