Three Towers
Three Towers is a bustling port named for the three great towers that dominate the stone harbour. Since the 'liberation’ a contingent of Quodethi Navy has been permanently stationed here. The trireme Urugan, along with a naval garrison (including half a century of the elite marinus) and the docks and city walls team with activity as they are improved. Since the bloody pirate and sea-devil raid the landward defences have also been improved. The Landgate has it’s own garrison including a detachment of the elite Quodeth marinus. Work gangs can be seen toiling on defensive improvements during the day. Grisly reminders of the fate of marauders hang from the walls around the land gate. There is a bounty on both Gnoll and Beastman heads.
Refugees - Since the new year refugees from the Amur villaes of Taarbo and Banutre have been seeking safety in Three Towers. Reports of Beastman, Gnoll and even Giant raiders are a common occurrence (Sana 2215).
Overcrowding - The refugees, the increased military presence and spring trade have combined to make accommodation prices sky rocket Three Towers.
Places of note:
Temple of the Gods, Temple of the Nine. Sits atop a hill its commanding position overlooks the harbour and the peninsula the City sits upon. The 8 Adepts murdered in a bloody Sea Devil raid have been replaced. Seeker Aphoom Master of the Temple runs the show.
The Sultan is Three Towers most celebrated famous Inn. Gary will look after you. It has the best rooms in the City, although they are difficult to come by.
The Bazaar The market is a fraction of the size of the great bazaar at Quodeth but no less busy, even in the long night. All manner of goods can be purchased. Urchins prowl the bazaar stealing and begging.
Haughty Powers, Atlantean Apothecary
Mother Ishtars Boarding House - A quaint male only boarding house in the old town.
The Shades - "A more wretched hive of scum and villainy would be difficult to find. " Despite or perhaps because of its unsavoury reputation business is booming in The Shades. Several fighting pits the towns largest brothel are but a few of the things on offer at The Shades. The new management (Sana 2215) is a very tough looking crowd.
