Other Notes
- Usually there is a few number of Hefazat in Portcall - just enough to show their presence and make sure to be able to react quickly if sth actively against the crown happens. In recent days their numbers have easily tripled
- Portcall is on the verge of becoming an anti king powder keg. They've never been a fan, but the shipping issue has nerves on the brink of snapping
- There is very little shipping and seafaring going on, as the news of lost ships have started to become more frequent
- The Sorcerer King is not a fan of Portcall - as they don’t really see themselves as part of the empire That’s why there’s no official arcane academy here and it’s forbidden to sell high level magical items
- There’s sweeps every few… months? Looking for items or trouble makers of the political kind / incendiaries
- rumour has it (and the king is allegedly also of that belief) that the night is red dawn would have been won if saboteurs from Portcall hadn’t interfered
