Giantshead Bay
Giantshead Bay is a member of the League of Brennan. This crescent-shaped large village surrounds the bay after which it is named, following the contours of the semicircle of mountains that encircle the bay. The mountains themselves are bisected by the Adago River, which flows into the bay itself.
Government
The town is ruled by a council representing each of the patrician families who can trace their house back to the city's founding.
Defences
Eight guard towers look down on Giantshead Bay from the mountains that surround it.
Industry & Trade
The village has a robust fishing trade. It also sits at the mouth of the @Adago River, which runs though the mountains and into the interior country. It's well-constructed breakwater and water locks make it a particularly attractive port, and it is also famous for its shipbuilding industry and large dry docks.
Guilds and Factions
The shipbuilders guild is undoubtedly the single most powerful faction in the city.
Architecture
Most of the city's buildings are set in the hills and mountains that surround the bay, forming terraces that run from waterline to almost the top of the surrounding mountains.
Geography
Giantshead Bay takes its name from the small island (or giant rock, depending on your perspective) that sits just beyond the bay's breakwater, which some people say looks like the head of a giant. Giantshead Rock itself is a popular nesting site for peregrine falcons, which is the origin of the city's emblem: the white silhouette of a falcon set against an indigo background. The Adago River flows from the interior of the country into the bay.
Natural Resources
The waters around the bay are rich in fish and other seafood, making Giantshead a culinary delight. Meanwhile, the crescent of mountains that surround the city provide a natural defense against land-based invaders.
