Port of Seas

Overview

The adorable city state where it all began for the BMG
Ruled by a small number of extremely wealthy families, foremost among them the Eventides, the Port of Seas is ostensibly a republic in the sense that the most wealthy and prestigious of citizens are allowed voting rights in a general assembly.
On the south-eastern tip of the Radiant Coast, the Port of Seas has prospered as a final port before the long crossing of the Endless Sea to Daerun far to the east, or to the other Radiant Coast city-states to the north
The Port of Seas was once a small Sarpadian Empire outpost. After the collapse of the Sarpadian Empire, the few Sarpaidan citizens who escaped destruction merged with the locals to build the city
Close to the Witch Wood and the Cymbion Crossing, the Port of Seas attracts a good number of adventurers to its surrounds.
While not officially a vassal state of Gramidern to the north, the Port of Seas has been in lockstep politically with its far larger neighbour for a number of decades
