Sofóst Palir

Sofóst Palir, or Enasplútoskrysofóstinpalír in full, is a large town on the Western coast of Midara, in the land of the Sun Cult. Its full name translates to "golden light comes with the tides", referring to the unusual substance that can be found washing up on its shores.
The dull, orange-brown, waxy substance that floats ashore with the incoming tide has a number of names, with "Amber" and "Sun-that-floats" being the most common. It is believed that it is a form of congealed sunlight, and when used as a fuel source burns cleanly and brightly, though not with much heat. When consumed, however, it produces a greatly invigorating effect on the imbiber, as well as a marked increase in aggressiveness and a reduction in impulse control. Excessive use can cause the mouths and throats of the user to glow with a faint, golden light.
Sofóst Palir is not an especially large town, with around 12,000 souls living in it, but its coastal position and importance as a port town gives it enough prestige to afford its own Tame-Sun, though it is small and prone to fits of guttering. The population is roughly evenly split between Halflings, Orcs and Half-Orcs, and Humans, though as a port town visitors from other races (mainly Elves and Dragonborn from Viden) are not uncommon.
The town is nestled in between two rather sheer white headlands that form a natural bay, with a pebble beach between them. The soil around the town is fertile, but freshwater rather scarce, so most agriculture is in the form of hardy fruit trees and drought-tolerant legumes.
In recent times the town has developed a reputation as a haven for pirates. The Amber Teeth are perhaps the most infamous amongst the people of the Sun Cult, a group of vicious brigands who consume and traffic the Amber that floats on the tides for its narcotic effects. Rumours abound amongst the townfolk that the town's Patriarch is addicted to the substance, and deep in the pockets of the Amber Teeth.
