The People of Tanvero
The people of Tanvero "were of mixed heritage, some of their ancestors being the elves native to the mountains and some of them the goblins who had come north to prospect for gold and had stayed when they found the trade in furs. Their skin ranged in color from black to white, and their eyes were all hues from gray to brilliant crimson.”

There are Ulineise prelates in the area, but none are Witnesses for the Dead. The former prelate of Ulis was Othala Perchenzar. There are also two clerics of Csaivo, including Othala Coralezh, the latter of whom at least performs medical services for the town.

There is a chapter of the Vigilant Brotherhood in Tanvero.

The town has a tall and stout mayor with ash-gray skin and "muddy brownish-red eyes", who was the leader of the group that greeted Thara Celehar, and later asked him to stay. The head prelate is Othas'ala Deprena. The town has a cemetery caretaker, Athru, to look after all the cemeteries and avoid ghouls. He is helped by Valta and Vera.

Many trappers and independent miners live in and around the town, and many of the trappers are Vikhelneisei.

There is a Blacksmiths' Guild governed by Mer Halvernarad.

Locations
The town square appears to be the town center. There is a stolid brick town hall. The town has no street lights.

There are two hotels: Elsanesmee, where the caravan masters stayed, and one patronized by guards and drivers. Elsanesmee is run by Mer Malhanar.

Most of the farms are in the south of the town. Mer Sherzar's house was also in the south.

The town has many cemeteries, largely due to mining accidents and plague victims. The area is very religiously independent, so there is no united ulimeire.

The Clenverada Mining Company Cemetery is a 10-minute walk from the town square. It “was laid out in a neat grid with square, identical gravestones.”

Irmezharharee was a cemetery originally for plague victims, and appears to be located in the north of the town.

The Old Town Cemetery is located along the South Road, and was built before the townsfolk knew how much Tanvero would grow. The Clestenada cemetery is also in the south. It has a fancy fence with a gate.

The New Cemetery is ornate.
