The town of Kern is situated on an island in the Mermidon River. Kinson Ravenlock and his wife Mareth settled the wooded island first, after the Second War of the Races. They farmed, then built a trading center and opened a supply route along the river. Other people from the Borderlands moved to join them on the island, and soon there was a thriving community. This community became the town of Kern.
