Stoneport
The City of Stoneport is a walled city which sits on the Wyvern Sea. It is the dominant manufacturing and forging city in the realm, even more so than Penthos. More raw materials flow in and out of Stoneport than any other city. The city is mostly focused on trade and shipping of raw materials throughout Tanaheim. It is easily the second most wealthy city outside of Penthos. It tends to stay neutral in most conflicts preferring to provide arms and supplies to whomever is fighting.
The city is divided into Hornes which is what they call their separate districts. Most people live in the outermost structures and the government and wealthy business folk live in the interior closer to the docks.

Demographics
Primarily human and dwarven but contains all races. In the second age the city of Stoneport was a dwarven fortress. When the Human/Elven wars brought much of the Eigerlands to ruin the dwarven fortress thrived. By forging weapons and armor for both sides. the fortress eventually grew into an entire city. These days the governmental seats are mostly dwarven and human.
Government
Government structure -
Essentially an oligarchy comprised of two Majestor’s (Majestor Primus and Majestor Secundus) and a Minister Securus.
Most laws and justice come from a parliamentary body and the three oligarch’s use their vote to break ties or veto things. The strict laws of the city and brutal punishments make law giving and peacekeeping fairly easy.
The Majestor’s are each given a large mansion in the center of the city and the Minister Securus live in Westerlor’s Tower (24 on the map).
Majestor Primus handles a lot of the diplomacy and monitoring of the continent and land shipping. Majestor Secundus keeps tabs on a lot of the shipping and trade over water to the islands. The Minister Securus is in charge of the judicial branch and is essentially the attorney general. Of course, all three have a small army of lesser ministers that monitor all of this.
The city tends to reject magic and refuses to allow any magic users or clerics into ministerial positions. Some magic shops or arcane researchers exist in certain areas of the city but they are carefully monitored. A few clerics are allowed to operate in the city but most citizens rely on practical means of wound care instead of engaging with a faith based healer.

History
Previously an Elven city called Estillia, over 800 years ago the elves abandoned it and retreated back to the Forest Realms. Dwarves and humans moved in and reworked most of the existing architecture to suit their needs.
The city is divided into Hornes which is what they call their separate districts. Most people live in the outermost structures and the government and wealthy business folk live in the interior closer to the docks.
