Carapace

Carapace, known derisively as Turtle Town, is one of just two occupied crossings of Princespine, the other being Oxcrossing. It is the southern crossing, the less populated and less economic crossing in most cases. It not only crosses the smaller Princespine mountains but also spans the upper section of The Sarriah River. The city is built upon an older dwarven settlement and fort, previously known as Kir Vindros. The town is situated upon a number of small plateaus that rise out of the river and which are interconnected by rope bridges. It is known in the area for relying heavily upon the abundance of turtles and fish that pass underneath. As a result, the food, shields, weaponry, and many other items crafted in Carapace are derived from turtle shells, turtle meat, turtle beaks, etc.
