Balena
Balena is the second largest city in the Tarran League, right before the country's capital of Tarrpolis. Balena is the centre of the League's whaling industry. It produces about 60% of the country's whale oil.
Demographics
Industry & Trade
Whaling and whale oil production are the main industries of Balena. When you walk along the city's harbour you can see whaling ship going in and out almost all the time. Barrels of whale oil are transported between ships and factories located along the harbour. It is used in lamp and soap factories. Meanwhile, all the extra oil goes to the markets and is sold for thousands.
Infrastructure
Harbour is the most developed part of Balena's infrastructure. The main pier goes along the coast for about 9 km and has many smaller piers going out into the sea. The harbour is always busy.

Guilds and Factions
The biggest and most important guild in Balena is the whaling guild. It controls the whole industry, both the whalers and the factories using whale oil. The guild makes sure the standards of production are kept and the quality of the products is high. Also, everyone who wants to be a captain of a whaling ship has to pass an exam in the guild. Anyone who doesn't do that is not allowed to dock and trade in Balena. Similar rules are present in almost every coastal city in Tarra.
