Port Anlow

No one who has any choice in the matter makes berth at Port Anlow. The townspeople will tell you the place started falling apart before they had even finished building it. Founded by whalers as a place for them to refit their ships and drown their sorrows in cheap, watery beer between voyages, the town experienced the briefest of booms beginning on the 2nd month of the year 2845 P.A., colloquially referred to as its "Golden Age". 
Two months later, the First Northern Conquest began and the Empire's privateers started boarding and capturing Ordaynian whaling ships in the Everwinter Sea.
If war was the nail that signalled the decline of Port Anlow, then the Winter of '98 was the hammer. Gale-force winds and torrential snows buffeted the town for five straight weeks. A few desperate whalers tried to brave the storms, only to be dashed against the reef and eaten by chuul lurking in the rocks. 
By the time the storm had finally subsided, half the homes in town lay in ruins. Rather than attempt to rebuild, many of the townspeople simply packed up whatever they had left and started walking. 
What remains is little more than detritus and boarded-up windows. Those that linger are seemingly resigned to their fates, moving about with the grim acceptance of those waiting for the tide to carry them away.
