Difference between revisions of "Jaru"

'''Jaru''' is a small village that lies west of [[Shallam]] upon the bank of the [[Pachacacha River]]. The neighboring city has historically been fiercely protective of the Jaruvians and has come to their aid many times, most notably during invasion by the city of [[Mhaldor]].

Jaru sits at the very eastern end of the [[Great Southern Road|Southern Road]], bordered by the [[Shamtota Hills]] to the west and the [[Pash Valley]] to the north.  It sits just north of the [[Peshwar Delta]] beside the lower Pachacacha River, and a bridge connects the town to the nearby city of Shallam. The entire east side of town is devoted to docks and shipping yards, where the [[ships]] ''[[Sea Jewel]]'' and ''[[Seamule]]'' are moored. A few small farms can be found in the north end of the town.

The Jaruvians hold a strong connection with the people of neighboring Shallam, who have allied with them against various threats throughout their history. The inhabitants worship various divine associated with the ideals of Good, such as [[Lorielan]] and [[Tarah]], whose grove was once located within the village.  Father Garron runs a small chapel in honour of [[Deucalion]] on the west edge of town.

Pelicans can often be found flying around the harbour on the east end of town, and a small kitten named [[Patches]] is often seen wandering the streets.
