Situated a few miles east of the city of Evenhold, the village of Nellzon is the first stop on the Great East Road that stretches from the city to the eastern borders of the kingdom and beyond. It's also one of the seedier stops, a place where trouble-makers who've been run out of Evenhold come to hole up, cut loose, or just get drunk. The town's several taverns are notoriously rough.

The royal Forest of Cynwood lies just north of town, and the Zyphur and Volber rivers flow to the south.
