Once nothing more than a trader's stop known more simply as 'The Pit', Jeskan has grown to become more of a full-fledged town thanks to the prosperity from steady trade on all sides. The route to the north through the gorge is the main land route to Anduillan, and the nomads from the high plains of the Golden Fields come regularly to trade from the east, and traffic through the forest to the west comes from the city of Bridian. Relatively new are the long docks which jut out south into the harbor, allowing ships to dock who wish to avoid the tedious effort of rowing up-river to Anduillan.
The Pit
Jeskan's premiere pub withe original namesake of the founding settlement. This place isn't <i>quite</i> what the name implies, but one could certainly find better accommodations in friendlier places. This place always was and still is the establishment of choice for caravan drivers, peddlers, commoners, and more mean folk to commiserate. The ale is watered down, and the food is probably left over from yesterday, but if you're hungry and thirsty... it beats starving, and really, this is the best to be found in Jeskan.
The Gorge
Passage to Anduillan once used to flourish on the road north from Bridian, but a huge collapse in the mountains south of the barony's capital city disrupted that trade route and forced trade to use the gorge instead. This bolstered Jeskan's status as the gateway from the Aean up to Anduillan, but it is advisable to hire guards to protect oneself on this path, as it provides ample options for would-be ambushers to hide in wait.
