The camera pans down onto the town of Rivenmarch, a river trading town and halfling capital in central Caldrith. It’s historically a rather safe place, not a lot ever happens here and as such the political interference from the capital is rather small.  The town itself has recently been suffering with mechanical issues controlling the lochs and waterways through the town causing the trade that the town thrives on to struggle. Slower unloading, slower deliveries, loss of stock, all of these causing the town merchants and officials a panic. A town meeting was called looking for a group to find a fix. The town itself had a vast tunnel network underneath, a mixture of important infrastructure and links to the old world kept down here. One of these links was a control stone believed to be kept deep in the tunnels that could be used to repair the damages.
