Nivakta's Crossing

The southernmost village in Rostland, Nivakta’s Crossing, is an alert town of tradesmen, hunters, fishermen, and trappers. The village itself is surrounded by a wooden palisade and is set on the northeastern bank of the Shrike River. A low bridge allows access over the river here to the wilderness to the south—the southwestern side of the bridge being fortified by well-manned guard towers. This is the point at which Maegar Varn and his mercenaries crossed the Shrike to head into the Nomen Heights some time ago.

It was here that the Kingmaker Heroes met the Heroes of Brevoy, and where the former had their Geas placed upon them by Zalan Szoke, the Skald of Issia.

Subsequently, the village was occupied by a group of Iomedae templars heading to the Mendev crusade, and later joined by House Khavortorov. There is a rumour that the former experienced an unfortunate encounter with Andras Szebo and his Ghoulish forces within Varnhold.
