Petintat

Petintat is an inland town in Ardfarjord situated in the lower Turtle Run River valley about a half mile before the river enters The Sulfur Flats. The town has long prospered by the fertility of its fields and the value of the furs that pass through its gates headed for Ketanyoog and beyond. In the last century, however, The Sulfur Flats have become too dangerous to reliably float vessels down and the town's fortunes have dwindled somewhat. Even so, caravan traffic happily picks up the extra cargo--for an additional price of course.

The town has a solid array of shops and specialists, including an armorer, a fletcher, an herbalist, and a temple of life and one of death (until recently two temples of Sastreh). In addition to being an important stop on The Fur Road, Petintat is also a successful agricultural community and an important part of feeding Ketanyoog's less agriculturally inclined populace. The town has three bars: The Stable (ok), The Dragon's Belch Fountain and Inn (nice), and The Front and Backhoe (poor). The Town's alchemist's name is Gilly. The town also boasts a number of inns and stables, though in truth most any peasant would gladly rent a room to travelers.

The population of Petintat proper is about 300, but when one incorporates the thorpes and farmers that till the valley around the town its population is about 900.
