The City of Riverhelm itself is located past the Castle and in a separate walled off area, taking up a huge portion of the mountain. Complete with 2 market places, 4Housing district, 4 inns, 6 taverns, 2 blacksmiths, shipping and trading area, 2 shopping districts, an enormous town square, 2 barracks for soldiers and knights, the Riverhelm mines at the top, and of course... the Arena.
Riverhelm is packed with many cultures and races. The people majority of the city happily accepts one another but keeps in mind that Nordic tradition reigns true. Other races bring their cultures but often times assimilate their culture rather than try to alter the people of the city. The city has become a melting-pot and has grown greatly from it.
All those who live in the city are meant to work hard. The belief is that if one works hard and follows the law, they will be happy, healthy, and possibly even wealthy.
Entertainment varies from street shows to theaters, bards and musicians, and wonderful festivals.

The main form of entertainment is the Arena. Riverhelm arena is know for its ability to make champions. If you are a warrior looking to make a name for yourself, the arena is how to do it. Many great champions have left the arena, yet far more have walked away in shame. The rules for the arena are simple:
1) Any armor worn into the arena is allowed, no personal weapons though.
2) any weapons that are used must be selected from the Arena armory (unsharpened yet deadly)
3) No weight class, no time limit. Fights end with either a knock out or a submission
4) Killing is not allowed. Killing an opponent will ban you from the arena and disqualify you from any and all events.
