Athrad Iaur

The Arthrad Iaur is a crossroad of travel for river traffic and foot traffic where often enough encounters of various kinds are to be had by travelers. Adventurous Stoors will travel up the river by barge seeking trade with Beorning clansmen. Northmen from Methelburg or points further north will be delivering goods for trade for foodstuffs or woolens from the more industrious Stoors. The vigilant Beornings keep their promises to have the fords open for travelers and impose their ham-like fists upon those who threaten the peace. At times elves will travel out of the Golden Wood in peculiar and graceful sailboats seeking trade for the honeyed meade of the Beornings or some of the more exotic healing herbs found in Mirkwood proper. Woodmen will sometimes travel in bands. Traveling bands of heavily amred dwarves might be seen traveling to and from Erebor, the Iron Hills and Khazad-Dum. Thus a tent city might be found at the ford in summer time to fall  A deserted rise near the river marked with fire rings and castoff refuse during winter and spring. Travel by barge across, up or downriver can also be arranged at this place as often they tie up to makeshift piers in the river. Depending on the time in history, the bridge immediately upstream may be in good repair and make travel an easy affair. The road to the West leads both under (for the brave) and over (the sure footed) the Misty Mountains. The passes often enough have orcs and goblins on the prowl. Equally often their heads can be seen set on wooden stakes by the roadside.
