As such, the city is well known for it's generous entertainment and vast array of docks. Even with lower then historical elemental activity any ship leaving the city for Carne is advised to do so with at least one other ship.

History

The city was founded in 581 after the Empire of Honevrsat realized the missed opportunity it was to have a port for ships traveling the Thundering Beck. Knowing the travel on the Beck was easy, the empire determined that having a port some distances away from the turbulant waters of the Run would serve as a welcome retrieve, and while they're at it could help to pad the pockets of the empire and those they send to run the city.

The discovery of an ancient mining complex to the east shocked many individuals in the 620's. It is believed that the mining complex is some how connected to the Ruins of Puku to the north, but scholars from Groinsmirth and Honevrast have been unable to confirm this.

Industry

Since it's founding, the city has become a vacation spot for many of the empires elite. Children beg their parents to allow them to come see the elementals of the forest without getting close enough to be stolen or lured by them.

The city's proximity to elementals provides the city abundant opportunity to harvest and sell elemental trinkets and essences throughout Delesia. Through lucrative trade deals made by the empire, the city is able to invest much of the proceeds back into tourism, and the shipping industry.

Besides shipping and tourism the city has an abundance of wood, and ores. Limestone and Bamboo are in high demand throughout the Empire, and Bacot is more then capable of supplying it.

Government

Running the city is no easy feat, and is handled by an elected mayor. Getting onto the ballot proves difficult for many of the individuals of the city, essentially allowing the city to be controled by a rotating group of the city's elite families and anyone else who has the 3500 gold to submit their name to the ballot.

Geography

The city of Bacot sits along the eastern edge of the Thundering Beck, amoungts the rolling planes and hills of Honefrast's western border. Access to the river makes the city the last chance for many captains to turn around, or redistribute cargo going up the Beck to the Run, and destined for Carne.
