Lockport
Once the Capital of the Skovlan nation this city was devastated by the Unity war. From a central hub at the end of a deep fjord the city expanded outwards over the centuries slowly covering more of the mountains that surrounded it. The Thane of Skovland resided in grand winter estates atop the most regal peaks and the city thrived on the trading brought to and from its docks. The industrial hub centred around the docks slowly pushed back the grand residences filling the wide streets with the bussing of industrial traffic. As the industry boomed the grand estates moved further up the pristine mountains, with space at a premium those that could not move found themselves surrounded by new factories and workhouses.
During the Unity war the city changed beyond all recognition. The large port area and industrial infrastructure pushed the Immortal Emperor to relocate the refining of ectoplasm to the City. This was the triggering incident of the war and over the thirty years it raged it was decimated by both sides. Imperial warships hurling shells high into the city and Skovlander guerrillas alternatively engaging in last ditch defences, sabotage and scorched earth.
As the was concluded much of the city lay in rubble. Quickly the refineries were rebuilt under the watchful eye of the Imperial Military . under this gaze the residents have begun to rebuild. those that can afford keep to the higher reaches. by the docks, toxic fumes from the manufacturing of ectoplasm lie heavy in the air. mutation and illness are common among those that cannot afford face coverings whilst moving to and fro along the once regal streets.
