Bridgeport is surrounded by massive walls, each of which contains numerous towers. The city is guarded by an outpost of the Red Dragons.

Industry & Trade

The city has been on its own for a long time and had no interest in trade with anyone else, but became finally part of the Farenian Empire when the Council of Ten decided that it was in the best interest of all Bridgeport's traders to have access to the Farenian market without the "outsider" taxes. Main export products are spices, cheese, fabric, vegetables, fur, fish and peat.

Infrastructure

There are several wells scattered throughout the city, and the Thunder River divides it in half, which is crossed by several wooden bridges. The city has a well-functioning sewage system. The majority of the streets are cobblestone and wide enough for waggons. One of the city's larger projects is a Farenian Empire mandate to build a channel across the land bridge to connect the seas on its north and south sides.
