Jovvox

This community, which consists primarily of gnomes, stands within an unclaimed section of the River Kingdoms
east of Mivon. Jovvox was originally built around a remote monastery with a great open forge on the ground floor.

After a turnover in local leadership, the monks rebelled and were killed. A flattering gnome merchant, Jov, persuaded the victor to cede her the territory in exchange for making weapons to fuel his rise to power. The bandit king was dead within 9 months, but the gnome weaponsmith lived on.

Today, Jovvox’s small enclave of weaponsmiths makes cheap weapons—fast. When a bandit king or revolutionary from nearby Galt needs a hundred spears to arm a coup attempt, the weapon merchants of Jovvox supply them. The smiths can make high-quality weapons, but most of their business comes from undercutting the competition in price and quality. “A true warrior only needs his sword once” is a popular sales pitch in Jovvox.
