Tarsis

If you have the coin, the possibilities are endless...

The proud Eastern Port of Argolen, Tarsis is a melting pot of personalities and races; from the noble and mighty... To the villainous and slippery. If you make it here, you'll make it anywhere.
  Trying to find someone? Go to Tarsis. Looking to make a quick buck? Try Tarsis. Hoping to acquire a rare piece of information or a one-of-a-kind artefact? You'll find it in Tarsis. Being the Eastern trading hub of the Kingdom has its advantages, after all. People from all over the world settle in these parts, with a myriad of cultural festivals occurring on a weekly basis. From the Grand Bazaar Complex, where merchants and travellers exchange coin, to Kamigawa Way, home of the rich and famous of Tarsis; there's something for everyone here.   The port is most famous for its seafood cuisine, caught fresh every morning out in the Sea of Ueren, and placed on the chopping board within the hour. Tarsis is known for running like clockwork, whilst also accommodating the pace of its settlers, for its markets are open all through the night. The city is proud of the fact that not once in the past 35 years have the markets needed to shut! Well, except that one time... But we don't talk about that.   Despite having been associated with piracy in its long past, Tarsis has since cleaned up its act and stands as an exemplum to the whole of the East. However, as with anywhere, villainy may be found in many forms, and this place is no exception...   But the best part of it all?   In Tarsis, the more you stand out... The more you blend in.
