Port Overnight
Fleeing the draconic war being waged for almost half a century on the continent of Masara (see War of the Scale), many fled to this location at the northernmost tip of the Irolian continent to start a new life, free from the danger of random and rampant dragon attacks. What they found awaiting them was a land rich in natural resources, specifically lumber, but also natural beauty. The coast they settled upon was awe-inspiring. In the years since, the settlers have carved out something special. A renown destination among travelers of all kinds, this port is often called the "city that never sleeps", and for good reason.
This city grew slowly, but as natural as the beauty of the region, it ended up a popular and lively tourist destination. There is always something going on here, day or night. While trade is a core of what keeps this city going, tourism is the chief commodity here. Beachside taverns, lively casinos, rambunctious restaurants...all available anytime. The size of the city is enormous, easily large enough to fit 3 or even 4 large cities within. Beyond things that cost coin, there are a plethora of other more scenic activities. There is a thriving fishing community throughout the city, for commerce and pleasure. There are free theatrical musical performances that occur day and night, typically nearby to established drinking venues. Citizens will often organize free entertainment events, such as armwrestling, darts, combat, musical and such competitions. These sort of events can also take place at a more professional level, with contestants paying a entry fee with prize money for winning.
The city is run by three elected officials: chief of commerce, chief of protection, and chief of visitation. The chief of commerce ensures vendors obey commercial rules and pay taxes. The chief of protection enforces the laws and protect both citizens and business alike. The chief of visitation monitors travelers.
