Hallowharbor
The harbor of Newfaire is a keystone of trade and commerce for the entire country of Hale, and accounts for a major portion of the valleys incoming wealth. This district boasts a combination of luxury tourism, with Halen citizens taking exorbitant cruises, as well as more traditional mercantile and holding corporations that ferry goods throughout the region.
During The Last Great War, Hallowharbor was well protected by the formidable geographic shield of the Vastchasm. While the narrow pass between the continent and the falls was under blockade by Otherwhere, the citizens of Newfaire found a rich food source, fishing in the once-crowded commercial port. Post-war, enjoying seafood has become a unique symbol of regional pride, a concept embraced by many of the high-end dining establishments across the valley.
Originally, the harbor had a large torch simply referred to as "the beacon" to light the path for ships. It's been replaced by a single tower that uses electricity instead of fire. The city still keeps the old beacon flame lit as a tourist landmark.
