Tyr's Landing

Pip never cared for sailing, but The Lady insisted on speed in her endeavor and she always got her way. Hanging over the bow of the ship, relieving his third attempt at lunch into the sea, he heard a sailor shout "Port in sight! Flying the longship on blue!" many of the sailors cheered at this, now safe from pirates being so close to safe harbor. As pip looked up he saw the large port town, and the pair of long, narrow ships coming out to escort them to harbor. It seems they had arrived in Tyr's Landing, and he was grateful to have the chance at land under his feet.

Walled with a 30ft wall surrounding the port with 4 towers spread across the defenses. the gate is reinforced with steel bars and bronze plating.

Industry & Trade

Dockhands and inspectors deal with mechants, collecting wares and fees for services, such as caravan setup or warehouse storage. The biggest export of this port however is its defense, which Axian Merchant families paying bounties to fenrikan ships and the Shipmaster for each pirate ship they bring down.

Infrastructure

6 large ports capable of holding 4 small ships, or 2 large hulks. 1 is reserved for escort ships of Fenrikan longships. the roads are cobbled and poorly patched remains of the old Imperial Highway. several merchant guilds runs caravans to major cities and operate large warehouses. There is two Shipyards devoted to mantaining and building new ships run by a master shipwright, each of them reporting to the Shipmaster.

Guilds and Factions

The Fenrikan Shipping Co. is the major shipping company in the area, and is a collection of merchants that own most of the warehouses in the city and use that leverage to barter for better trade deals. The Shipmaster is the governmental head of the city, keeping the balance between foreign and domestic interests and the safety of his people. Tends to also be the wealthiest person in the city due to a portion of all fees going to them. Axian Merchant Familes represent the most prevelant merchants of the Republic and will often attempt to sway certain events to be more favorably disposed to them. is directly opposed to the Fenrikan Shipping Co. and the Kytan Enclave however they also bring the most money into the city so cannot simply be removed. the Kytan Enclave is a group of sailors from the Bull Sea that ensure that slavery is not being practiced on this coast, liberating any slaves they can find on merchant vessels. This makes them fantastic pirate hunters and many of them sail on Fenrikan ships to aid the their hunts.
