Kajoro
Kajoro is built on the site of an ancient fortress and watchtower. The fortress has become the palace in the heart of the city, enhanced of course by gardens, covered walkways, and other changes over the years. The watchtower on the point overlooking the sea is topped by a lighthouse with a beacon that has supposedly been lit nightly for hundreds (some even say thousands) of years. Repairs to the outside of the watchtower have to be done — and then redone — as the new material weathers away, but the inside and the supports remain in good shape. Prince Ussi, who was a naval officer until an unfortunate injury ended his career, takes the city’s responsibility to the watchtower very seriously and has been known to personally conduct surprise inspections of the facility.
The market of Kajoro gathers all the products of the east side of the Bay, and the city provides a large port for use by interested merchants. This resulted in the area being very prosperous. Only a little of the money is spent in luxury for the city or its lord; most is spent on improving the lives of the common people and also to a degree the lives of the owners of the large plantations. Prince Ussi currently has people exploring the cost and difficulty of building a crown road inland from Kajoro about 50 miles and then north through some of the plantation areas. He is nearly ready to send out exploration teams to determine the best route, and then to start building out from the city.
