Seafort

Description
Seafort is a city-state that is the largest of of the trading posts on the western shore of the Inner Sea. Like all the trading ports along the coast they can be rife with corruption and crime. Being the largest, Seafort is not quite as dangerous as some of the other cities but is a far cry from Strongwater Port. Whereas Strongwater is fairly well regulated and controlled Seafort and the other ports deal in black market goods as easily as legitimate wares. Seafort is run by a council known as The Five. The Five is composed of the five heads of the trade houses. The city has an island port with a mainland city. The "Portside" area is solely for trade and servicing the ships that come and go whereas the "Landside" city districts are where daily life happens for residents.

The Shallows
This area in Landside is very close to one of the bridges connecting it to the Portside. It is so named for the lowland location and periodic flooding that occurs there. It is also Seafort's societal underbelly. These slums are in constant squalor and crime runs rampant. Although you can find many goods and services in Portside, almost anything can be found and bought in The Shallows.

Seafort Port
This port is the busiest hub of trade in the Inner Sea. It is the launching point for many ships that seek to trade with the Central Kingdoms or who want to bring good deeper into the Western Outlands. Although there are smaller ports that dot the coast none have the facilities and services to receive larger ships. Additionally, Seafort is considered the safest place to head into the Western Outlands due to the fact that many mercenary escorts seek to find work there. "Safest" being a very relative term.
