Geography
Thavelfin is a blunt rectangular province south of Sovanil and west of Ulurith and Jisiensire, separated from them by the river. To the south are the remains of an abandoned province that they do not have the manpower to cultivate; to the west, they border the mountains, though the slopes are less precipitous there than they are on the borders of Sovanil and Deriline.
Thavelfin supports a population of 3109, with most of the population in the northeastern corner along the riverbanks, where water is plentiful and it's easier to build. The river begins to broaden along its border, which makes for more options when traveling and fishing. The largest of the five parcels is Themaes, with 922 people, in the northeast; directly south of it is Tera, with 870, which shares the corner with the small but populous parcel of Shoril, with 548. To the west, Keth in the north and Falir in the south have 383 and 329 residents.

History
“Oh, Baselia Themaes. Her predecessor left her a province in ruins—the southern provinces were lost to monsters so quickly that nothing protected Thavelfin from their predations... and what wasn’t chewed up by chimera suffered several seasons of terrible storms. We rarely saw Baselia at court, because she was barely out of her majority when her aunt abandoned her to the leadership of Thavelfin, and she devoted herself to ensuring her people’s survival. When her more distant cotters were reluctant to give up what little they had to move, she promised their homes would be taken down and rebuilt in other villages... and made good on those promises. It took her decades.” A pause. “They called her Otter at court, because she was long in the torso, and to mock her dedication to Thavelfin’s river fishing concerns, with which she necessarily involved herself to feed her consolidated villages. We should have been kinder. But she answered us all for our ridicule, and put an otter on her personal crest.” [1]
