Enyaw

Enyaw is a port on the Azure Sea coast of The High Kingdom. It lies close to Gerrale, the premier trading port of the High Kingdom at the mouth of the Shammar River, which would normally mean that most merchants would pass Enyaw by, and make for Gerrale instead. As a result Enyaw tends to cater to merchants who want to evade the high tolls that Gerrale levies, or who are interested in a more rapid turnaround of the cargo, rather than sailing across Minchar Bay to Gerrale, or who want to reduce their chances of an interaction with the naval forces of the High Kingdom. It has therefore become something of an entrepot for less legal or highly taxed commodities, or those trading with countries with which the High Kingdom doesn't have particularly friendly relationships. For this reason, Enyaw survives because the Count of Teranthar protects it - the revenues from Enyaw make up much of his treasury, and that money would otherwise go to the Guilds of Gerrale. As a result of the trade and merchants that frequent it, Enyaw has an unsavoury reputation - the Count governs it with a light hand, and many disputes here are settled with the knife rather than through more official channels. Life is cheap in Enyaw. It also forms one of the premier slave markets of the High Kingdom, not because slavery is prohibited in the High Kingdom, but because slaves are a perishable cargo, and questions about origin and legal status are asked less often than in Garrale.
