Saline

Founded by the union of the Salt Trading Company, it is host to both Donhuid and Kenhika with barely any racial conflict. Settled on the eastern point of the Saline country nestled among the great expanse of the Salt Spires and Sembar Desert.   Named after the Country itself, and is the home to the first of the Salian.   It functions as a trading port for all the salt and minerals harvested in the country, with it all going through the Salt Trading Company. This gives the trading company majority control over the settlement irrespective of anyone's rank, as the locals depend on the export of salt and the importing of goods to survive.

Defences

Large walls creating a funnel only allowing ships to enter and exit preventing any fancy ship combat tactics.  The soil of the surrounding land is pure jsggered crystallized salt and could easily harm if not kill anyone who slips.

Industry & Trade

The export of all the countries harvests, as well as imports.  The exports feature salt, spices and metals. While the imports vary greatly with rations, work equipment and luxuries such as perfume.

Guilds and Factions

Salt Trading Company, founding it and dominating the trade networks and makes it impossible to not go through them.

Points of interest

Salt Lightrotch

A large lighthouse standing on an independent rock a few metres from the harbour. The rock and side of the lighthouse that is clashed by water are covered in enormous white crystals. These crystals reach all the way to the brazier and help allow the light to reach further.  

Crystal Caverns

A huge tunnel system beneath the city used for dispensing waste and harvesting of Brine Root. One of its entrances connects through the sea and on certain phases of the moonlight is reflected inwards reflecting across each crystal cluster propelling the light throughout the entirety of the network.

Tourism

Not many tourists visit the location because of its hostile terrain and environment, however it is common for natives who moved away to generally return for pilgrimages and family events.

Natural Resources

There are pockets of fertile land, but with barely any fresh water, growing plants is not practical. However, the salt deposit makes it a prime location for companies wishing to have a clean supply of salt, alongside the minerals and spices created from the Wrumen, a giant worm creature that excretes the salt.
