Jigow

Jigow is a fishing town on the far northern coast of Xhorhas.

Description
Jigow is a collection of villages that grew together into a fishing port on the far northern coast of Xhorhas on the shores of the Emerald Gulch Sea.

Meatwaters
The Meatwaters are the primary docks of the city and home to its thriving fishing industry.

Jumble
A collection of villages in the center of Jigow, the Jumble is further inland and built among mangrove trees and horizonback tortoises that serve as mobile homesteads. Within the center of Jumble is a temple dedicated to the Luxon.

Wetwalks
On the eastern edge of the city are the Wetwalks, stilted homes built over low wetlands where paddies are cultivated to grow grains.

Society
The people of Jigow have longstanding rivalries between their clans, and these competitions are celebrated, ranging from hunting, cooking competitions, and sports. Though some citizens have adopted worship of the Luxon after its introduction by the Kryn Dynasty, many feel that the presence of the drow are stifling their local culture.

Government
Durth Mirrim is the taskhand in charge of the city, working in partnership with the elders of the orc and goblin clans; Ushru representing the orcs, and Cubu-Ka representing the goblins. The relations between the taskhand and the elders is strained, as Durth Mirrim puts the interests of the Dynasty before the citizens of Jigow. Meanwhile the clans elders do their best to maintain the cultural heritage of their peoples.
