RIVIELLA


A map of the town of Riviella, or Res, around 1315 AL. The fourth largest settlement on the Pelagia. Capital of the Riviellan District. Also known as “Porkeria” or the “First of the Mountains”. The castle ruins on the island, classify Riviella as one of the old walls. Remains of the town’s fortifications are still visible near the surrounding towers. Records claim the town, at that point, had around 300 homes made of stone or wood, many of them with two or more floors, alongside a plethora of other buildings and was home to 450-500 large families.

 

Points of interest:

1. The Belir’s Chimney

2. The merchant Stoas

3. The Planks, Riviella’s main port

4. The Old Castle

5. Dolvet's Temple (former Riviel's Temple) at the Roasters District

6. The Porkerias

7. The water-mills

8. The long bridge

9. The “Little Stoas” at the Nassaryottics

10. Part of the town’s farmlands.

This is more of an experiment. A collection of four stories, centred in one town of this world. I want to see where my writing level is at right now. Can I give the city a distinct character? Can I make you care about the people in these stories? What do I need to fix about my expression and grammar?

I would love to read some critiques and feedback. When something is written poorly, don't hesitate to tell me how I can make it better (please).

(I know there will be some lore dumps for example. Are they tiresome or acceptable? How could they be improved?)

Thanks in advance,

Somewhere, a monk collects the fragments of his past memories. Small stories of how it all happened. How life went on under the looming shadow of the revolution. How everyday people can shape history. This book is the fruit of his labour.
The only one he ever wrote.
