Discover Atheron

Explore Stonehaven

The human starting city of Atheron

The road across the plains leads to Stonehaven, where caravans pass beneath strong stone walls and the market hums with travelers’ stories. Beyond the gates, workshops ring with hammer blows, the Golden Tankard offers a place to listen for rumors, and the keep rises above a city built for trade, craft, and adventure.

A city worth exploring

Follow the market streets from the gates toward the Town Hall and Keep, then look up for the soaring Crownspire. Visit the Cathedral of Light, stop at the stables before taking the road again, or find the tools for your next journey among Stonehaven’s armorers, weapon makers, bowyers, and potion sellers.
