Port Velerano
Port Velerano is the only sea accessible city, being on the southeastern part of Hawk Island, so it is a hub of trade. When Sir Sylas Fenheart was in control of the island the Port was open to all not at war with Eregoth. The city bustled with trade from all corners, and was incredibly diverse. During his reign slavery was illegal, and while a few minor lords pushed for slavery the majority of Hawk Island, including the criminal element, was very against any form of slavery.
This all changed when Lord Fenheart lost control of Hawk Island to House Oakenshield. With the reign of Oakenshield the Island and the Port went through major changes. Communication and travel was all but banned for anyone leaving or entering the island. And Slavery was enforced on the entire island. The Port once lively with the different nations of Armea, was turned into a sad miserable place where people went to be sold to Norstir guilds and Oakenshield allies. All businesses were shut down, save for one tavern and the slave yards. Outside the Port was located vast farmlands, and the powerful houses in control of the farms were sold off and taken over by Oakenshield. Guard towers were built all over the place to watch for escapees and would be liberators.
Recently with the help of the Fist Of Fenheart, the Port has been liberated. The inhabitants are choosing their path forward, and are in talks with Lord Fenheart for the future. The Port is open and people are coming to Hawk Island and leaving of their own free will for the first time in 50 years.
The Fall of Zenos caused a tsunami, and that tsunami wiped out all of Port Velerano. Thanks to a early warning, the magic users were able to teleport the majority of the citizens safely to Heskin. As of the Night of High Magic in Vespides of 1945, no one has been to the remnants of the port.
Demographics
The population are people recently freed from slavery, with a mixture of all races or adventures coming back to the island. While you see more Elf or Human races, you do see Dwarf, Orc, Halfling, Gnome, and more animal like humanoids as well. 10 Kobolds, who are very good tunnel diggers and decent builders, have recently joined the Port's community and were welcomed with open arms.
Government
Currently a Emergency Governor is in charge as they figure out how to move forward. Governor Solaris Kinesh is the acting Governor.
Defences
Large stone walls, and many Guard Towers. The Seaside of the the Port is very defenseless.
Industry & Trade
The Farmlands are some of the only on the entirety of Hawk Island, so they provide for the entire island. The Port is now open again and shops are getting started, so trade is slowly but strongly getting set up.
Infrastructure
Great Farmlands, a large Port.
Assets
One Tavern. 3 large slips. Lush large farmlands. While the city doesn't currently have much, storefronts are for sell and buyers are coming.
Architecture
The Architecture of Port Velerano is a mixture of wood and stone buildings. When Lord Fenheart was in control the style of house was more Elven, and used more wood for buildings. When House Oakenshield was in control, the style changed to a Dwarven style, they used stone and sculpted it how they wanted.
Geography
Large farmlands for 5 miles all around the north, south, and west of Port Velerano, and to the east a beautiful coast line. This part of the Island is the most accessible from the ocean, with deep channels around the coast so ships have a much easier time of travel. After the farmlands, are lush beautiful forests that go for as long as the eye can see. This part of the island is closer to sea level and much of its terrain are small hills or flat land.
Natural Resources
Forests are located 5 miles from the walls of Port Velerano. Farmlands cover the 5 miles between the walls and the forests, anything from animals to vegetables and berry's. To the east is the Shining Sea, which brings with it the natural resources of the sea and sea access for trade.
