A muddy crossroads town where a slow river meets the causeway, Fenbridge Market is a busy exchange for goods bound through the Greyfen Expanse, full of barges, bargaining, guild flags, and the ever-present smell of peat smoke.
Where road and river make their bargains beneath the ever-present fen mist.
