Port Scoff

A port town on the edge of the Silt Sea. Generally thought of as a bad place to go down a dark alley, it is surprisingly kind to those who belong. The protection of the Silt Sea Fleet led by Captain Malkaz "Maelstrom" Hinter and First Mate Ortolan Riffraff keeps things peaceful, though there is a duelling circle in the middle of the town for people to settle disputes. Never to the death - there is a much put-upon healer who makes sure that doesn't happen - but it's a rough and tumble town with regular bar brawls and a thievery rate that is considered a sort of tax for visiting. Port Scoff is ruled by a council of local tradespeople, captains and merchants who have rowdy and entertaining meetings but will band together to punish anyone who takes things too far. Murder and grievous bodily harm are frowned upon, and stealing from those who have little will be met with punishment. In general, the Council of Rogues take a laissez-faire approach to governing, as long as everyone pays their minimal taxes, but the second they decide something must be met with punishment, there are few people in the town who'll hide a trouble-maker.
