Port Veris
Port Veris is a bustling port city located on the western coast of Lorin, a continent rich in natural resources and roamed by nomads. The salty breeze carries the exotic scents of Port Veris's markets and taverns, making it a popular destination for traders and travelers from all over Leylos. The city's ranshackle buildings and bustling docks reflect the diverse peoples and cultures that make up its population, from the roguish human traders to the nomadic tribes of the surrounding steppes.
Despite its reputation as a hub of commerce and diversity, Port Veris is also known for its dark underbelly. The city is a hotbed for the piracy trade, with smugglers and privateers operating out of hidden coves along the coast. The Dominion has tried to clamp down on these activities, but their presence is often met with resistance from the free peoples of Lorin, who resent the Fey's attempts to exert their control over the continent.
Tensions between the Fey Dominion and the free people of Lorin have been simmering for decades, fueled by cultural and economic differences as well as a deep-seated mistrust of the powerful Fey rulers. While the Dominion maintains a strong presence in Port Veris and other coastal cities, their authority is constantly challenged by the independent nomads and tribes who make up the majority of the population. The seafaring Naidra Elves who occasionally frequent Port Veris on business for the Dominion are often met with suspicion and hostility from the free peoples that live there.
Visitors to Port Veris are advised to keep their wits about them and watch their backs. While the city is a fascinating and vibrant place, it can also be dangerous and unpredictable, with hidden dangers lurking around every corner. Those who are willing to take the risk, however, may find themselves embarking on an adventure that will take them to the farthest reaches of Leylos and beyond.
