Jennden is the central city of the Harp Basin, its great road connecting the lands from Innspa to Ralsand and serving as a hub of river trade down the Harp. With a population of slightly over 5,000 people, the city is currently building eastward along two great boulevards to envelop the land surrounding the castle of Myrak, the Cranden ruler of the city. As funds permit, this is being rushed to relieve the crushing overcrowding citizens currently endure. The city has now largely dealt with the disease problems of years past, which included in some instances burning several tracts of houses to the ground and rebuilding. | Jennden is the central city of the Harp Basin, its great road connecting the lands from Innspa to Ralsand and serving as a hub of river trade down the Harp.

Jennden is the central city of the Harp Basin, its great road connecting the lands from Innspa to Ralsand and serving as a hub of river trade down the Harp. With a population of slightly over 5,000 people, the city is currently building eastward along two great boulevards to envelop the land surrounding the castle of Myrak, the Cranden ruler of the city. As funds permit, this is being rushed to relieve the crushing overcrowding citizens currently endure. The city has now largely dealt with the disease problems of years past, which included in some instances burning several tracts of houses to the ground and rebuilding.
It should be noted that Jennden is a city of virtual lawlessness, where one owns something if he can defend it from others. For years, the city has lived in a state of virtual anarchy, where lawless men ran rampant and took what they could. A powerful thieves' guild has crushed all opposition in its quarter, and wields great power in the city. Many merchants have paid a small tithe to ensure their customers are not accosted, nor their shops looted. Even now, few of good alignments stay for long. Visitors and natives alike are targets for robbery and assault in Thieves' and Slum quarters; local criminals know that if visitors or select local individuals are murdered the lord of the city will intervene, but the common man or shopkeeper sleeps light and often keeps a cudgel close to hand. Despite this, some merchants head south from Innspa under the protection of both Karasin and the city ruler, and do their business here.
The city has a fair river port, which in recent years has enjoyed ongoing construction both in expansion of facilities as well as the addition of a stout wall and guard posts to discourage thievery.
