Newshore

Newshore is a coastal region in the land of Kalash that lies just north of Korana. It was colonized by the Visarians, a tough and resilient group of humans seeking a new life away from their homeland's bitter cold weather and political turmoil. Although many sea-faring races call Newshore home today, it has remained predominantly inhabited by humans since its colonization in 8224, 3E.   Newshore's strategic location on the coast has made it an important center of trade and commerce. However, it is not just a center of legitimate trade. The region is also home to Bloodport, a city that lies between its east and west borders. Bloodport is known as a hub of illegal trade, attracting all manner of pirates, smugglers, and criminals who see the city as a safe place to conduct their business.   Despite its reputation as a haven for thieves and assassins, Bloodport has its own brand of law and order. The city is ruled by a council of powerful merchants and traders, known as the Blood Council. They are responsible for maintaining order in the city and do so with a heavy hand, often involving public executions or mutilations.   Over the years, Bloodport has grown in size and wealth, becoming a powerful force in the land of Kalash. Its traders and merchants are known for their shrewdness and cunning, making Bloodport a hub of innovation and entrepreneurship. Despite its unsavory reputation, many people come to Bloodport seeking opportunities and wealth.   Today, Newshore remains a bustling region, filled with all manner of people and goods. Its reputation as a center of trade and commerce has only grown over the years, and its merchants and traders are respected throughout Kalash. However, visitors are advised to tread carefully when entering Bloodport, for the city's dark history as a haven for pirates and assassins still lingers.
