Wrecker's Reef
This small settlement is the first stop for many travellers entering the Echo Expanse, it was the first place colonized by the Empire of 5 when the causeway was stable.
The town is home to all sorts, mostly imperial citizens with the occasional outlaw or faction member settling down.
There are a few notable locations in town:
The Docks, where new travellers and goods arrives, this area is heavily patrolled by soldiers of the Empire.
The Black Hand, a tavern and resting place for most of the towns mercenaries and hirelings.
The "Temple" of Boral, an amphitheatre built at the southern edge of town. It has a lowered arena in the middle that is used as a fighting ring for both entertainment and punishment.
The Imperial Office, people who stay on the Empires good side, never see the inside of the dungeons beneath the Wreckers Guild house.
Demographics
There are people of all races and professions living in Wrecker's Reef, most have settled here permenantly and rely on new travellers and adventurers coming through the Causeway to earn a living.
Government
The town is under colonial martial law and in direct control of the Gorvernor. Any and all travellers passing through the town must register at the imperial office before they can continue to explore the new world, if not then extreme meassures are taken to make sure nothing can disturb the peace.
Defences
Two stone towers stand tall in the waters, east of the island. These are constantly guarded by soldiers of the Empire and function as lighthouses for the ships in the area.
Industry & Trade
Wrecker's Reef is the first and last stop for almost all of the goods that pass through the Causeway, this has led to many of the factions viying for power in the Echo Expanse setting up shop in the town and trying to gather influence with the local administration.
Infrastructure
Only a few buildings have been carved out of stone, the majority of the town is constructed using lumber found on the island itself. A mysterious giant sea shell has been pulled out of the ocean before the first people set foot on the island, it is now used as a temple to the old gods of Faerûn.
Guilds and Factions
Representatives from all the factions have a presence here and can be sought out if one intents to.
Architecture
Most of the wooden buildings that are constructed here use the same type of dark oak, processed from trees in the islands forests.
The few stone buildings that are present, all have been carved out of the rock taken from the coastal area, the buildings therefore have a bright sandstone look and follow the imperial style of simple and practical design.
Geography
The town is situated on the islands southside, it is built on the coast beneath a hillside. This means the town is protected from most of the magic winds that eminate from the barrier and can withstand the worst of the chaotic weather in the new world.
Natural Resources
The island itself is quite barren of life but filled with natural resources used in construction and ship-building.
