Nestled in the mountains bordering the Misty Thicket , the village of Rivervale is a well-protected haven for hundreds of peaceful, if mischievous, halflings of Norrath. The village is defended both by the tall neighboring mountains and the Great Wall of Serillis.

These happy-go-lucky little halflings follow the teachings of Fizzlethorpe Bristlebane. Nearly all are loyal to Beek Guinders, the High Priest of Mischief, and he acts as their spokesperson in all external affairs. His clerics maintain a small church known as the Chapel of Mischief where they administer to the needs of the citizenry.

A small farm on the outskirts of town provides most of the food for Rivervale. The farm is worked by Will, a hearty middle-aged halfling.

Crime is not a problem within the village limits as halfling thieves rarely rob their own kind. On the other hand, travelers are cautioned to be kind and polite to all hafllings for nobody holds a grudge as firmly as they. Rivervale is nestled in the Misty Thicket and rarely, but occasionally, is attacked by orc and goblin raiders.[1]

Dangers

Those who have fallen out of favor with the halfling citizens of Rivervale are advised to avoid the city if they wish to retain their lives. The deputies that patrol and protect the city are fierce indeed and should be niether trifled with nor underestimated.

The city also has a native terror known as Mangler - a black guard dog who has been known to attack random, innocent bystanders without provocation. However, Mangler is the loyal companion of one of the city's most prominent citizens; any overt action taken to defend oneself from the terrorizing beast will be met with harsh penalties from the deputies of the city.[1]

Benefits

Rivervale has been the home of many adventurers, priests, and rogues of renown and infamy the world over. Guilds for clerics, paladins, rogues, warriors, druids, and rangers have been founded and maintained, and are a crucial part of the city and its culture. Fortunately, the halflings are very in tune with the finer things in life and many goods that can be found nowhere else on Norrath may be purchased here.[1]

Traveling To and From

Rivervale can be accessed from one side through the Kithicor Forest through a narrow, well-hidden tunnel. The other side opens onto the Misty Thicket, where many halflings make their homes. This area is generally a little safer for the traveller, but further afield lies areas best avoided.
