Industry & Trade
Given the size and importance of the Summerset port, many inhabitants have jobs in and around it.
One of the most important jobs is the fisherman. It is a line of work a sizeable part of the population of Summerset have their hands in.
They usually go out to the sea in the early morning and return either around noon or latest in the middle of the afternoon. Occasionally there are some who dare to venture out in the evening and go night fishing for some more exotic fish, but this is usually only done for special occasions or when one is in very dire need of some extra money.
Since fishing needs a lot of ships, there's quite a few shipbuilders and maintainence people, who are often very broadly skilled. They get both small fishermans ships and the big ships of merchants and the navy to work on, so they have a lot of pracrice in dealing with all kinds of builds and variations. It makes the Summerset shipyards one of the most desireable places to get a ship from if you can. Legend has it they charge outsiders much more than the locals, but nobody has been able to proove it.

Points of interest
Given it is a meeting point for so many different people and professions, the city has quite a lot of commodities. Many taverns and inns line it's streets. There's beer and ale for all and almost every place has at least one bard every night to bring the news of the world to you.
The market square, just a line of houses away from the grand port is filled with goods from all over the world every week. Materials, crafted goods, fish and other foods ... even exotic things from the far and unknown corners can be found if you're willing to pay the price. If you get very lucky, there might even be a traveling wizard or artificer offering their services. Try to be there early on a Thursday so you don't miss it.
Additionally, you should not miss the famous restaurant called "The Calm Clam". They have fantastic seafood and a few bits and bobs around for the landeggs that cannot take the sea. If you can arrange it, try to be there on the night of the Calm Clam Calamity Dinner, which might be one of the most delightful events across Kallevaar. There is food and drink and much delight for everyone really.
