Bargarsport
Bargarsport is a trade city located on The Delta of the Wahr River along the Reaping Coast. Originally founded by settlers from Castorhage, an earlier version of the city drowned when a powerful tsunami rushed ashore and covered the people and structures in layers of silt and sludge. The trading company abandoned its investment at that point, deeming it pointless to throw good money after bad.
However, several years later the city was rebuilt, bit by bit, by residents determined to have their home back regardless of the opinion of a soulless company of Castorhage. The survivors built over the ruins of the earlier city that was now hidden in the soft mud of The Delta, but they didn’t completely forget that older city. Instead, they put the buried buildings to good use as the new city’s sewers. Sunken buildings now carry the waste from the aboveground structures out to sea through an elaborate sewer network formed from homes, temples, and warehouses that stretches under much of the city.
Bargarsport is now once again bustling, though it is not as prosperous as it was previously. Instead, after its chaotic interlude, it has become a nearly lawless city where almost anything goes. No questions are asked, but much information is available — for a price. Many whisper that the powerful Alantyr family, which controls most of the importing and exporting, has its hand in the illegal trade as well. The official government is said to be on their payroll, and the only significant opposition is from the clergy of Ayianna, a minor goddess of luck who has been the city’s patron deity. Her worship is literally underground, in a temple hidden somewhere in the inundated undercity where a host of worshippers gather to report on the goings-on in the city above.
