Skullport Settlement in The Lost Archipelago | World Anvil

Skullport

A sprawl of rickety warehouses and extensive dockyards, this haunted place was the first port-of-call built for the Abyssal Fleet of Capt. Aldernon Numan. Developed very quickly over mere months by industrious spirits of the dead and untiring corpses, it grew into a place where the spoils of his fleet’s raids would be offloaded, stored and eventually sold. Often to the same people they were stolen from.
 
Interestingly, the scattered locals of the Archipelago’s land of Death have no trouble coming to the outer markets of Skullport to buy the ill-gotten goods of Numan’s fleet off of the ghostly merchants’ hands. Life in the Archipelago, especially in the Lands of Death, has hardened many mortals to the brutal realities of the place, and this is no exception.
 
Skullport has also become a place of shady (aha!) deals, as well as currency changing hands in exchange for bounties. The Abyssal Fleet of Capt. Numan has not found itself out of work since arriving in the Archipelago, with many locals more than willing to give up their Realmstone in exchange for the elimination of their rivals. The Painted Folk clans of the Eastern Foothills of Shyish are constantly at war with each other or with tribes from wastelanders, and having a powerful neutral party with access to armament and swift vessels has made the Betrayal of Lethis, and the other vessels of the Fleet, highly-requested weapons in these conflicts. After all, Skullport is where deals are made and payment delivered… lest the Fleet needs to come collect it themselves.
 
There weren’t initially many places of comfort suited to mortals in this grave (ha!) place. However, the value of catering to mortals coming to trade in Skullport has led to many taverns and inns sprouting in the outer areas of the town, nearer to the markets. Most of these establishments are run by entrepreneurial ghosts and corpses, with hired mortal hands, but lately a few businesses run by mortals have started to spring up. The rule of law is still strictly enforced by undead watchmen, and  the secret police wraiths that stalk the streets of the town known simply as The Silent. For the mortals of Skullport, the enticing Oath of Immortality in service to the Fleet is always open...
 
The Fleet has been performing its first forays into the Northern Marshes and preparing to investigate the Eye of Shyish island, in hunt for new resources.
