Freeport
This began as a small colony established by a former slave that won his freedom, this city was literally built to provide a safe haven from slavery within the Masara Archipelago. Slavery is illegal here, under harsh penalty where no one is immune. The city is full of individuals that do not trust easily, and many have learned the hard way. There is a rule in Freeport, do not ask others about their past. Everyone here can live peacefully, as equals. The rulers descend from the original founder, and are given a series of quests in their youth to prove they are noble, couragous and worthy enough to take on the mantle of defender of liberty.
The city encompasses the entirety of this island, and it does not disappoint. While the atmosphere can be somber at times, it is generally friendly and jovial when not dealing with a tragedy. The locals do not trust easily, but are not suspicious and confrontational unless outsiders give them a reason to be. One can fine almost any ammedity and luxury that a large city can provide, which is a scarcity in this region, aside from Kisa'arn (the capital city of the Nimarun Dynasty).
The government is commanded by a person bestowed the title of 'lord protector', passed down from the prior bearer of the title, upon completion of a series of quests to prove they will not abuse the power, and wield it only with noble and honorable intentions.
Note on pirates: While this city does not ally itself directly with pirates, they find common ground on the subject of slavery, and thus, it is not uncommon for both sides to directly or indirectly assist the other in times of need.
