Great Step Harbor
Large main harbor for imports and exports of Sequine. Nested in the massive footprint of Chaac from his rampage over 300 years ago.
Demographics
Due to the transient nature of the town, the demographics are a great mix of many different races. Human, dwarves, elves and goliaths are most common, with some okiti and genasi every so often. This town also sees frequent visit by local firbolg tribes that live throughout the The Endless Roots.
Government
The city is primarily run by a tabaxi named Thunder in Clouds (Thunder). Thunder and the previous runners of the town have gone by the name Governor since its founding. Thunder makes most dicisions for the town, though on large situations that could impact all the citizens of Great Step Harbor, a town meeting will be called at the Ferron's Legacy temple.
