Luxurpore

"This city could give Cognitos a run for its gold." "They certainly know how to party." "Careful, all of you. With the bounties on your heads, the longer you're in Luxurpore, the less likely you're ever leaving." - Captain Pace Starset to the crew of the Invincible
The island of Luxurpore doubles as a sovereign city-state off the west coast of the Kingdom of Velant. First established as a pirate haven during the 3rd Age, the island continued to develop into a society of both wealth and lawlessness. The only real form of governance for the island nation rests with the organization known as the Syndicate, which controls much of Luxurpore's black market trade and larger dealings. Referred to as crime lords by those outside of Luxurpore, the members of the Syndicate hold tremendous sway over the commerce and order of the city state, and their influence can be felt outside of Luxurpore as well.
Visitors from every corner of Arkos come to Luxurpore to partake of the city's famed recreation and revelry, most notably the fighting arenas, gambling halls and exotic night life. Luxurporian culture is known for its affluence, and the nation's wealth largely comes from its abundant trade in rare "objects", and prestigious clothcrafting industry. Its flag bears scales as a symbol of their commercial significance in Arkos. The city-state's prospect of wealth has attracted all peoples from across the world, and has even managed to attract those whose worship or practices would be frowned upon in most other powerful nations.
