Ravensport is the largest city in Ravenwald and the seat of the Duchy of Barrows.

## Districts and Landmarks

Ravensport, despite its sometimes tumultuous history, is an old city that has never been razed in its entirety. For this reason many of its districts are historic and well-established.

### Ashborough

Any travelers coming from the north of Ravensport will pass through Ashborough. This sprawling neighborhood outside of the city walls houses a mixture of farmers and artisans. It is the closest one would get to a small town while still being in Ravensport.

This section of town is named for its crematoriums. Although the clerics of Urogalan seek to bury the dead, they do not always get their way.

### Ravens Bridge

Anyone from a dock laborer to a successful merchant could find their home in Ravens Bridge, leading it to be the most diverse district in the city. This section of the city is newer than Oldtown to the east and its layout has benefited from some planning, making it easier to navigate. The College of Lights makes its home here as well as the Cartographer's Guild.

#### The Honey Dewdrop Meadery

As one of the most well-known independent meaderies in the land, the Honey Dewdrop has been serving its famous mead for at least a century. While not a family institution, the recipe and fermentation process has been passed down from owner to owner. It is said the mead derives its taste from a particular grove of trees deep in the forest, but none have been able to find the grove or reproduce the taste.

### Harkenfel

Just to the northwest of the city is a sprawling neighborhood that snakes its way up the river. Some smaller barges dock here to pay fewer tariffs before passing into the walled city and enterprising merchants are able to take advantage of the lower-priced goods. This section of the city is said to be named after the fruit orchards that used to grow here before the city spread.

### Oldtown

Oldtown, as its name implies, is said to be the oldest section of the city. Many of the wealthy and powerful make their homes here. Lavish manors have absorbed smaller buildings, leading to eclectic and oddly-proportioned complexes. However, common folk still live in most of the district, where the building layouts are equally as confusing and disarrayed. Only true natives to this section of the city are able to find their way around all of its tiny roads and back alleys.

The Academy is located on the on the northern outskirts of Oldtown.

### Feyrow

Feyrow is a Drow community outside of the walls of Ravensport.

### Barrowfort

House Barrows makes their home in the aptly (though not always) named Barrowfort. Imposing blackened stone walls tower above the surrounding buildings, shielding anything inside the fort from view. The fortress has historically been the seat of power for the human noble house ruling Ravenwald. The district surrounding the fortress goes by the same name. The historic headquarters of the Ebon Watch is just to the north of the fort.

### The Docks

The docks and port of Ravensport are split into several smaller neighborhoods. Westport is the site of tanneries and the fish markets with the telltale stench to match. Clearport, by contrast, is where large ships (both from overseas and upriver) dock to exchange goods, with nearby Wharftown housing most of the workers that make that possible.
