Sataama Vierta
The river port of Sataama Vierta rests on the western banks of the Gold Wine River in the shadow of the Emerald Mountains. The city is well defended and is one of the few outward signs of wild elf might outside of the actual shadows of the Great Akadonian Forest itself. The port is closed to most visitors and serves in a mostly coastal military capacity. There is a growing voice among the local pirate confederacies to band together and sack the city and establish it as a port of ingress to the Green Realm and its rumored wealth of magic and untapped natural resources.
Sataama Vierta was established as a naval outpost at the suggestion of the Hidden Ones in the Emerald Mountains. The grey elves pointed out to the rulers of Solis Alunaris that it was only a matter of time before pirates or forces loyal to the Brotherhood of Skulls based out of Braktu would someday find a way to spread their depravity across the sea or under it.
The wild elves set forth establishing the port and building a navy with plans and technology afforded them by their grey elf kin. The ships they built were of a sleek outrigger form that allowed swift travel along the southern coastline. The wild elves for their part are not overly fond of the sea, preferring the glens and meadows of the deep forest to the rage of waves, and so typically stay close to the shore. Their navy is supplemented by friendly fey water creatures and alliances with tritons of the southern waters and water elementals.
Sataama Vierta is ruled by Lady Hennith Tonkhala, chieftain of the Swordfish Tribe. She is conversant in Sea Elf and the Aquan tongues and has a strong relationship with the fey folk of the sea. The port has a population of 4,000 with roughly half of the denizens serving aboard ships and a quarter more who serve as defenders of the city.
