'''Jaru''' is a small village on the banks of the lower [[Pachacacha]], just west of [[Shallam]].  It's inhabitants are mostly make their livelihoods in the waters, although there are a few farms on the north end of town.  [[Shallam]] has historically been very protective of the Jaruvians and has come to their aid many times, most notably when [[Mhaldor]] invaded the town.

Jaru sits at the very eastern end of the [[Southern Road]].  It lies below the [[Shamtota hills]] to the west, and at the edge of the [[Pash Valley]] to the north.  It sits just north of the [[Peshwar]] delta, on the lower Pachacacha river.  A bridge connects the town to the nearby city of Shallam.

The inhabitants of Jaru are chiefly fisherman and sailors.  There are however, a few notable exceptions.  Figures of the town include:

The entire east side of town is devoted to docks and shipping yards, which shows just how important the sea is to the people of Jaru.  The inhabitants worship various good divine, such as Loreilan and Tarah.  Father Garron runs a small chapel to Deucalion on the west edge of town.  A shrine to Tarah where one can offer small chocolates or flowers to the Lady goddess is located north of the main crossroads.  A few small farms can be found in the north end of the town.  The Jaruvians feel a strong connection with the people of neighboring Shallam, who have protected them from various threats throughout their history.
