Middenport

Middenport is a settlement located in The Pillars, in the middle of the Ocean of Beasts. Serving as a middle point when crossing the ocean from the Old World to the Savage Lands, Middenport has become a neutral hub for travellers of many different cultures and realms looking for a rest during the large voyage through the ocean.

The Town

The settlement is built by a merge of carved stone and wood from the first ships that found The Pillars. Starting only with some houses and a little port, the town has grown over the years with more visitors bringing trade, and with that money and materials to build more. Middenport is divided into 3 main zones:

• The Little Bay, a small natural-made bay that receives the ships that arrive in the settlement. This part of town also is the most business-centered, having most of the shops, taverns, brothels of Middenport, also when a ship needs repairs this is where one should go to hire a shipwright.
• The Plank Streets: This is where most people live in Middenport, natives and visitors alike. This zone got its name from the planks that were used as pathways to cross the rocky and irregular terrain of The Pillas. Most of the buildings here are also made of wood of different qualities depending on the time they were built, but some people built their houses into the stone.
• The Stone Nest: Looking over the town, this zone has small mansions carved into the stone of The Pillars where the richest and most influencial people in Middenport lives, but most of the time the mayority of this neighbourhood is empty, having the owners of the houses living in other, more "civilized" ports and cities in the coastlines facing the Ocean of Beasts.

Trade

As a middle point when crossing continents, Middenport has visitors from all over the world, each one of them having something new to the town. Given the terrible storms and dangers that are common in the Ocean of Beasts, is fairly normal that traders decide to go only as far as Middenport, thus becoming a center for trade for this type of merchants.

Rules

Middenport is a neutral zone where wars and any kind of conflict should be avoided, anyone who tries to defy this will be banned immediately from The Pillars, and if necessary, the perpetrators will be chased and executed by the Citizen Fleet, a small navy of volunteers that offer protection for Middenport and The Pillars in exchange for housing and food, many of them being ex-pirates or just people in difficult situations.
