Overscag

What makes it unique: Tobacco, has an underwater ziagarat that is occupied by a mermaid cult named Droshi.

A tobacco producing port town along the north east coast of Amerielle.
The lower area, near the ocean creates a more temperate area where crops grow well. The flat slightly sloped town is surrounded by thick forests and marshy areas. The melt from the Vaarak Winterlands gives the ground outside of town a soft peaty feel to it.
The influx of ships and shipments had kept the town alive and vibrant, but recently people have started to avoid it. Sailors, an always superstitious group believe that evil resides here. They often refuse to come off ship except when under command of their captains.

Surrounded by wildlands full of ancient buried temples and monsters, but even so the road that leads north to Icewyn and south to the capital is quite safe.
