Silver Port

Built around a lush forest of Pandanus Trees, Silver Port is a thriving city that houses merchants of all shapes and sizes. Its most famous locations, Archer's Shipyard, is full of all assortments of colorful shops selling almost everything an adventurer could want, and ready to be bargained for. If you need something, you're almost guaranteed to find it here, and if you can't then it's probably not something worth wanting.

Demographics

The city has a fairly diverse population, but there is a rather high level of dragonborn residents of all colors. The smallest demographic is that of halflings, though they can still be found here and there.   The majority of Silvarins are of the low to middle working class and find employment as shopkeepers, fishers, merchants, and Pandanus Tree farmers. Money lending and tailoring are also popular professions, as well as less glamorous jobs such as thug-for-hire/bodyguard, barkeep, and escort.   Nearer to the center of town there is a small, slightly richer community who perform the duties of bankers, legislators, and the city's small but organized police force.

Government

Silver Port is headed by a small council of three who oversee the creation and implementation of laws. Slightly below them is a council of seven who are responsible for meeting with citizens and listening to their concerns regarding laws and the state of the city. These ten people directly pay the city's police, who are responsible for enforcing said laws, collecting taxes from local businesses, and keeping the peace.

Defences

The outer perimeter of Silver Port is dotted by watch towers, which will raise flags and alarms to alert citizens if a potential threat is approaching the city. The meanings of the flag colors are as follows: Grey Flags: All is Clear Yellow Flags: Animal Migration Patterns May Prove Dangerous, be cautious Orange Flags: Foreign Ship is Posing a Threatthis can indicate a ship approaching too quickly to safely dock, a ship firing upon the city, or a ship that is known to be violent being spotted nearby Red Flags: Violent Storm Approaching Black Flags: Danger Within the City- citizens be on alert

Infrastructure

Several watermills on the outskirts of the town which provide the town with power. A water treatment plant which provides houses with clean water. Roads and bridges that are big enough for carts and people to pass over. Archer Shipyard: A large shipyard near the northern edge of the city where visiting ships may dock.

Assets

As it is a popular city for ships to stop at in order to get supplies, there is an abundance of shops in the area nearest the Archer Shipyard. This includes multiple food stalls, tailors, arms dealers and armor dealers, apothecaries, and more. There are also multiple brothels and inns near the shipyard, where many visiting seafarers like to spend their time ashore. Further into the city one can still find many shops, but will notice that the quality of products sold and the prices are both quite a bit higher. The shops are also considerably less crowded, and one should not try to barter down the price of items lest they bet firmly escorted out.
