Alford

Alford is a small town in the heartland of Ventestrum to the south of Gavontry, divided on the two banks of the Auster river.

Description
Alford is a quaint place nearing the edge of the marshlands in central Ventestrum, full of afluent people. It started its life as a get-away for traders from the cities to escape into the countryside for a little bit but has become a retirement community for the same sorts over time.

Red River Lane
The southern bank of the Auster is framed by Red River Lane, a street of shops, inns, and hotels. The lane is named after the town's particular adoration of red wine.
 * The Lusty Libation: The most popular hotel for out of town visitors and a well-known name far afield.
