History
Before the city was recognized as such, the land around Leechport was mostly abandoned. Locals from surrounding environs, who referred to the area as Mourncoast stayed away because of a long-standing cult that worshipped some perversion of Zemtris. After Skint fell to the Alerki Ascendency, The Manifest promptly moved in, slaughtered the heretical cult, and repurposed the cult's "church" into a Tabernacle.
Soon, Threewater (named after the divine Triad and not to be confused with Twicewater) began to flourish and grow, leveraging its docks as an ideal gateway to lands beyond the Ascendancy.
The name Threewater, however, did not prosper along with the city. The inhabitants found it to be frustratingly confusing with Twicewater, disruptive to both trade and production, and began calling it by the city's nickname, Leechport (so named after the various substances that would "leech" into water because of human habitation). Despite the Ascendancy's best efforts, the name stuck.

Geography
On the coast of The Vast, known to locals as the Mourntide, Leechport seems to be perpetually under a coat of fog. The land itself is mostly flat, devolving into an intermittent quagmire near the area known as Volkler's Cut.
