The River District, north of the Palace District, sees a mix of noble-controlled townships and freelander holdings. The Imperial Thoroughfare leads into the district near the Nillu-controlled town of Hawk's Aerie. River Road leads from Hawk's Aerie to the docks along the Fastheld River and then to Fastheld Bridge, which spans the Fastheld River and connects Hawk's Aerie to the Aegis Road. The Aegis Road runs parallel to the north shore of the river, from the soldier-populated town of Road's End beneath the western Aegis, past the Church of True Light's bastion known as Sun's Keep, through the Mikin-controlled town of Wedgecrest and the Lomasa-controlled town of East Leg. There, the road shifts southeast, becoming Market Road as it passes the Kahar-controlled town of Eastwatch and approaches the Market District to the south.
