Description:

The town of Yvenaud stands on the banks of the Silvane'e River, in the Kingdom of Olieroch. Yvenaud is a market town, and a trade hub for its region. Most of the goods that come into Yvenaud travel by river, and its dock and warehouse districts are almost always busy, even in the dead of night.  Because the majority of Yvenaud's population is goblin, the town is predominantly nocturnal, coming to full life after sunset.  Travelers visiting Yvenaud should be mindful of this fact, and treat mid-day as midnight.

Yvenaud, like most of Olieroch, is governed by both a hereditary noble and an elected leader.

The noble is Lord Renascal Zaxoife, a young goblin who owns most of the land in and around Yvenaud.

The mayor is Redelin Teaqmo, an influential member of the Trade Guild, which exerts considerable influence on the town.

Lord Zaxoife and Mayor Teaqmo get along extremely well, and Yvenaud has thrived as a result.

Aside from trade, the only other draw for outsiders to Yvenaud is the Memorial Stone, which sits on the northern shore of Lake Pane.  The stone commemorates the end of the Demonchill Winter, which lasted two years, costing the lives of thousands.
