"The Frontier"
This city is the furthest away from the caravan routes of the Shuman Mountains and is the least visited of the three most notable cities of The Far North (the other two being Sanguinia and Tel'mar). Nevertheless the city is quite wealthy due to the oil fields that lie beneath the Redwaters, the lake which houses Heylemn on it's eastern shore. The Redwaters are called so because of the aquatic monsters which inhabit them, making any expedition to discover oil a bloody affair. Despite the dangers most of the town are riggers, and spend most of their lives in boats or on the makeshift drilling platforms. The city is ruled over by a single man, a Valthi named Alex Thorndike, who lives a life of luxury due to the money he makes selling the riggers Valthi technology with which they drill. The town is watched over by the Order of Heyl, goddess of law and order, who's holy pilgrims first settled the area, resulting in the town's name. These clerics treat any break in the law harshly, which has resulted in a large prison northeast of the town. Not many who enter the prison make it out again, and the lower levels have been sealed off since twenty three years ago as a result of some catastrophe.
