Gnomeport

The home of the only permanent teleportation circle on the east coast of Aelcantar, one of three in total, Gnomeport is definitely the smallest settlement with one. More of a grand citadel than an actual city, Gnomeport itself is a fortress of daunting size, several layers of walls, soaring towers and exotic siege engines thrumming with barely contained magics. Gnomeport is clearly made to be as defensible as possible, and what little civilian population there is resides in temporary shantytowns and tents outside the walls, often hawking wares and catering to the lines of troops and rich adventurers coming through the teleportation circle.   The Gnomes extort a steep tax for use of their circle, and their settlement on the continent reflects their mercantile nature, not seeking to own land of their own, rather reaping the benefits of tariffs on goods and people seeking to make use of their services to bypass the lengthy travel by boat or airship from the old to the new world.
