Place of Three Towns

The Place of Three Towns is the point at which the Balantegue River empties into the Merkata River, and is named as such because there are three towns, each belonging to a different country, on the three banks.
On the southern bank lies the Tianguese town of Shanxi; on the northern bank is Kesnor, a Dalforean township, and in the east lies the Lacrivian settlement of Hougoumont.
These three towns have all enjoyed close ties over the years, despite the animosity their countries share. The current situation has existed since Shanxi was founded following the Tianguese conquest of the southern bank of the Merkata River; Hougoumont's leaders were instructed to act as a mediator between the two sides, given Lacrive's unusually wary stance towards either of the two great powers lying across the river.
