Jigow is a coastal settlement and is home to a collection of folk from all over Xhorhas. Goblin and orc clans founded Jigow, which explains why the settlement is governed by two elders—a goblin and an orc. The Aurora Watch (the military arm of the Kryn Dynasty) maintains a presence here, under the command of a drow called Taskhand Durth Mirimm.

In Jigow, any chance to show off one’s physical, social, or intellectual prowess is a welcome one, and there is no opportunity better than the annual Festival of Merit. On this day, contests between residents are settled. Every space is filled with festival games, food stalls, and plenty of shops and private residences have flung their doors open wide in anticipation of the revelry.
