Dreadmouth

The port of Dreadmouth forms the administrative base of the Free Cities Accord. Chosen both for its relative power and its distance from the front, it is here that the lords of the various city states meet to plan social and military manners. When a vote is called, all Ballot Masters are expected to head to the port as part of their civic duty; the most powerful live in the city year-round. Dreadmouth itself is a prosperous port, with both trade and privateer fleets filling the sheltered harbor.

Government

Dreadmouth is the seat of government for the Free Cities Accord, which is run though the complicated ballot master system.

Guilds and Factions

The Dreadmouth College of the Bardric Arts one the premiere schools of bardric magic for those bards that feel the need to be taught their craft. It is rumored to be secretly run by Fae creatures, something the Glamour Bards that have learned their craft there do not deny.

History

Founded initially as a fishing village, the many sheltered coves of the coast gave the inhabitants many places to hide as their trade turned from fishing to sailing and piracy. In 1475 the city was absorbed and legitimized to become the capital of the Free Cities Accord.
