The Village of Maeril was one of the most comfortable and familiar-feeling places that Isabell had visited since coming to Lothian March. Nestled against the River Luath, the village spanned both the north and south sides of the river with ferries ready to carry people and goods across the river for as little as a snip of tin per person.
Two stone platforms marked the place where a demon bridge had once spanned the river, but local legend claimed that the demons destroyed the bridge themselves in order to prevent crusaders from pursuing them when they fled north of the river. Now, those ancient stone platforms served as loading stations for barges filled with beef, lamb, and wool from Dunn Barony or wheat, barley, and produce from Hanrahan Barony, all flowing down river to the markets in Lothian City or beyond.
