Jaynistown was once a satellite community of Old Haven, overlooking the concreted waterway linking Krom's Canyon to the sea. Its location near one of the Rust Commons bridges ensured that it benefited from a steady stream of traffic on the road between Old Haven and Fyrestone. When the bandit uprising drove out the more reputable residents of the settlement it quickly became a haven for bandits and named "Jaynistown" by its new ruler, Jaynis Kobb.
