Freeport
Freeport is a coastal city - the air is clean and cool. The ground is sandy and barren, though a copse of plants appears here and there. There are many people running around, dashing from communal housing to work shifts, or working in one of the many communal buildings. The docks are bustling, some folks working the shipyard, some unloading or loading cargo, and others directing visitors to the nearest rec hall or cantina.
Government
The city of Freeport is made up of syndicates and run through direct democracy using Ionia's Telepathic Tally.
History
Freeport is a town of great renown in Caerwyn - they were notable neutral in the last Great War, offering sanctuary to those displaced by the war and chaos. Today, Freeport remains an independent governance to the rest of Caerwyn, operating outside of the governance of the High King and the satrapies.
Architecture
Most buildings are built for a specific purpose. Wood is used as the primary building material. Since many people here are shipwrights and sea mages, the housing takes on a very ship-like design. Housing is communal and there are specific buildings that act as cantinas. Most buildings have spells of warding against hurricanes and storms.
Geography
The area is a desert leading to the coast. Sparse plants survive in the area, mostly cacti and shrubs. Freshwater is found in the nearby Dragon Maw Lake.
Natural Resources
There aren't many natural resources in this area. Wood is shipped in from the great Forest of Arnd to build houses and ships. There is a small mine which produces some metals and glass is refined from the desert sand. Fish provides the primary food, with massive greenhouses providing some edible and medicinal plants.
