As suggested by its name Troutshore is a fishing community and is most notable for its Bellybank River Trout, a particularly large and fat breed of freshwater fish. Located several miles from a scenic mountain range, Troutshore is a northern paradise with cool summers and mild winters made by the winds that travel up the mountains. Troutshore is fairly secluded from larger cities but is a popular stopover for travelers heading north and south from the peaks beyond. While most of the economy of the village is fishing, many other services have sprung up to serve fishers such as bait and tackle, net weavers, boat and wagon crafters, and the like. The villagers are friendly and accommodating overall as most are accustomed to a wide range of patrons from across the land passing through their streets.
