Eres is nestled in the stony heights on the edge of the Harking Hills, due east of the Delves and north-east of the '''Hills of Eres''' and the [[Elmoor]], at the northernmost extent of the [[Harking Hills]. The foundations of the town were laid on an extended rocky flat easily accessible from the Orinian heath but equally in close proximity to the surrounding mines. | Eres is nestled in the stony heights on the edge of the Harking Hills, due east of the Delves and north-east of the '''Hills of Eres''' and the [[Elmoor]], at the northernmost extent of the [[Harking Hills]].

The only fully fortified settlement of the area, Eres is surrounded by a ring of wooden palisades set upon a cobblestone wall. Its town temple is consecrated to the god [[Käron]] in his role as patron of tillers and miners and located on a knoll on the western side of the town. The town's main road is set in cobblestone, extending from the temple eastward and connecting to the [[Lécaronian Imperial Roads#Niom III Aran|Niom Aran]] through the easern gate. | The only fully fortified settlement of the area, Eres is surrounded by a ring of wooden palisades set upon a cobblestone wall.
