Cape Fang

Cape Fang is a bustling port city located at the mouth of the Wyrmtongue River. Known as the Jewel of the Maw, it is a hub of trade and commerce, attracting merchants and adventurers from across the land. The city is ruled by a figurehead Council of Three, who oversees the running of the ports and ensures the river remains open for shipping. The Council of Three is made up of one member from the Aguilan Empire, Korenmier, and a Dwarven Lord from the Iron Covenant.
Cape Fang was once controlled solely by the nation of Koremier and was the epicenter of one of the bloodiest conflicts in the Maw region. In the final days of the war between the nations of Korenmier and The Aguilan Empire, the Lucian Empire and the Allies of the Aguilans had blockaded the ports cutting the city off from resources. After many weeks of starvation, the Aguilan empire breached the city walls, and a pitched battle was fought street by street. The fighting was fierce and it became clear to the Aguilan Empire that the Korenmierians would level the city before surrendering it. The loss of the city would be too costly and too large of a price to pay for either nation after a long and bloody war and preserving it became the first step to peace. After the Peace was declared, the council was formed and the Treaty of Three Marches was signed, later this region would be coined The Red Marches. Today Cape Fang is one of the most prosperous diverse cities in Primeordia.
