Newmoon Cove

Except once at newmoon cove

Common phrase implying many unsavory affairs are tolerated in said location

Government

The town and island is an autocracy of the Secret King and his affairs and laws are uphold by the Starring Eagles, a group of tax-collectors an law enforcers. they also take care of the cove's entry and exit tax for all that come to make business by the port entrance. Entry and Exit taxes does not apply to islanders such as AshenMount.

Defences

The infrastructure of the cove is a big part of it's defence, the streets circular shape, width and it's elevation make it hard for any large group of infantry to charge. The top of the cove also has large cauldrons full of boiling oil which they can drop so the streets fills with those (most establishment have some protection for it around the walls of their place to avoid collateral damage.). One of their hazards, which makes part of their protection for entering the cove, is a large mist at it's opening which also covers most of the water inside the cove , which contains underwater mines. Only specific people knows how to navigate on it without triggering one, and they ask for payment at the entrance.
The rest of the defence takes place in the population being allowed to carry their weapons in most of the place, and the Starring Eagles' force. Some exotic monsters are also available to the Secret King if the need arise. To this day, no country or war campaign managed to capture the town since it's creation/original capture.

Industry & Trade

Imports: steel, iron, coal, charcoal (usually only for emergency repairs, as AshenMount has the biggest amount on demand, just a bit farther. Slaves, prostitutes, illegal goods, alcohol, services (assassination, money laundering, gambling).

Infrastructure

The settlement is made upon many circular levels as if it was made like a coliseum. small bridges connect the circle when water slides directly through it. The small rivers usually fall in a manmade water spot not connected to the cove which goes down the rocky formations and empties either inside a underground lake or another side of the island. Those are often used by visitors and locals for waste management.

Assets

Newmoon Cove has an excellent variety of shops, but the most unique ones are those that would be made illegals in many countries. Drugs and Poisons shops, assassination guilds, small arenas, money laundering, gambling dens and other unsavory businesses are all rather simple to find in the Cove. but the most popular are the bars and brothels: the first having enough alcohol to make a titan whale pass out, and also some brews illegal in some countries like grog, mad lizard drool and absynth. As for the brothels, they are known to have among the most exotic choices a man on the sea can find, from any gender of their choice. They can also cater to almost all desires, including uniques races like Amoebian ,  mermaids and even a dragon, as some rumors says.

Tourism

The town is a tourist venue at heart, where most sailors , or usually unsaviour work such as pirates, come to rest, party , spend their loot, refresh their stocks and get some informations. The cove have all their needs that can be covered for a short vacation as long as they can pay for it. Some daredevils from other countries can also try to go there and have the experience of a lifetime, provided they can survive the nightlife of this sinful town. Adventurers also are lured to the legendary cove for either spend their booty without having to deal with other countries taxes, and get informations about possible points of interest which can be accessed at by ship.
The town never truly rest, except outside of dawn hours where most humanoids get their sleep, as the place is most popular during the afternoon and night. Even then, most services are open to early birds.
