Fallow Harbour

The town of Fallowharbor is located in a Valley lead-ing towards the coast. The town itself spills like the tide toward the coast of the shattering sea beyond. Its buildings are awash with greystone a sign of years of salt spray from the ocean. Many homes dot the town each with its own history and character, the architecture is typical of the Stormwind, similar to that of 12th century Europe; stone buildings no more than 2 storeys, small windows and Arches with wooden shutters. What does grab everyone's attention is Fallowharbors 3 most important structures viewable from anywhere within the town.
The docks stretch nearly a mile into the ocean you can see the original docks built with a strange green-stone similar to Serpentine, however, the stone leeks and inky substance which country to its oily look and texture actually acts as a gripping agent making it useful for the dock workers. Further out the docks take on a traditional wooden aesthetic using floats and various magics to stretch well over a mile into the sea. Making their way from the docs most new arrivals see the two tallest structures. The Castle of Lord and Lady Whitegate which is made of similar greenstone to that of the docks bleeding its inky liquid from 4 vicious-looking Spires. And the Church of the 7, a Dome with 7 arches, each arch has a sigil for one of the 7 gods of the Hepostrist pantheon. From each of these arches, A small hallway leads to one of 7 large towers each of which is devoted to a member of the pantheon. Each tower is made from a different stone representing the God it is devoted to. This is the coastal town of Fallowharbor

Government

Fallow Harbour is the domain of the Whitegate family since the time of Darnath the 1^st and its current ruler is Lady Elanor Whitegate. The Lordship is responsible for the entirety of the Fallowcoast taxing of its many settlements and settling disputes between lesser nobles and larger businesses. The Whitegates employ a mayor who deals with the common folk and general administration of their regime. A council of commonfolk represents the people's interest to the Mayor who conveys this to Lady Whitegate.

Infrastructure

The Docks

"The docks are highly commercialised, with Cranes lifting heavy goods from ships moored up, hundreds of sailors, labourers and administrators going about their daily routines. Moving crates filled with goods from across the sea, issuing dock passes to captains, and making their way further Into Fallowharbor for revelry after a long voyage. The docks themselves are a maze of Dockyards, Warehouses, and Boarding houses for sailors." - Brialair the Fartraveler

8 specific docks make up the whole harbour. Each of these docks is owned by a company most of which are local to Fallowharbor. Each dock has a dockmaster assigned to handle the paperwork for new arrivals, which is used to tax the companies appropriately. Each company has a harbour master but Whitegates employ a Harbour Master for the whole dock who sees over all the other Harbour masters. The current Whitegate Harbour Master is Cylus, an old war veteran from the recent war with Auora. The Docks employ a unique security force, hired by Lady Whitegate to ensure commerce Isn't disrupted. These guards are known as "Anchors" as they are Identified by a white Anchor brooch which holds up a sea-green sash. They tend to not get involved with fights between sailors to let them work out differences but will Intervene If these brawls get too out of hand.

Dock Companies

There are 8 companies that have built up Fallowharbors' Harbour over the years. each of these companies owns several ships and at least one dry dock to maintain their vessels.

With so many companies open for business, the economy of Fallow Harbor has boomed, after all, competition breeds Injinuity which leads to more profits. However, the larger companies use underhanded tactics to keep on top, sometimes sending thugs to burn warehouses of new upcoming business to keep their status.

The Tri-Mile

The Tri-Mile is a 3 mile long 20 foot wide black stone road, that leads from the docks to the High District. This highway through the town is like the town's veins that allows its lifeblood to flow through unimpeded. The road was built by those who came before the humans of the area and is made of the same black stone that the dockyard is made from, oozing its black gripping oil means any merchant is happy to travel through Fallowhorbour and therefore is responsible for the towns growing reputation as a trade hub on the eastern coast of Kelkanor.

Shoggoth Square

"Surrounding the Tri-Mile are the bouroughs that make up the Commons, a nest of make shift wooden homes stacked upto 3 storeys high. but In the centre the current of people make their way to the the largest market you have probably ever laid your eyes on. A giant market square with a sprawl of market stalls selling all kinds of goods, sellers yelling over one anotherr trying to gain customers, for those make there way to the centre of the square a strange memorial can be found carved from a singular slab of granite" - Brialair the Fartraveler

The square Is made from cobblestone, and has hundreds of market stalls crammed Into the square, smells of fresh food and baked goods, tomes of arcane knowledge from far off lands, Intricate garments of Silk and Velvet, fine metal works and even If you look hard enough unsavoury services for the more roguish clients. In the Centre of this giant market is a strange granite slab not native to the area, it's carved with a dead language that scholars long ago gave up trying to translate.
