Notable Inhabitants
Erik of Red Oak
The Lord's Rise
The Lord's Rise is the part of town on the hill containing the Lord's Manor, the Guard Tower, and the Longhouse. Most citizens aren't allowed up in the rise under normal circumstances, due to Templeton decress and the want for more privacy. When town functions due call for people to gather in the Longhouse, few townsfolk bother. The guardhouse houses a small garrison of soldiers, although only several them are paid men at arms, the rest are militia.
Seamarket
The Seamarket is more or less an oversized fish market. Locals from the many nameless hamlets and villages will come to the Seamarket to trade warm furs and foraged fruit and vegetables for the cod and halibut the fisherfolk return with.
Varl's Head Tavern
The Varl's Head Tavern is the only source of merriment in Han Harbor. It is large as taverns go, especially so as it is made large enough for the Varl longships who dock in port every so often. Their stores are always stocked with plenty of the Hraunese cider the Varl love so much.
Sharkstooth Cardhouse
The Sharkstooth Cardhouse is a cardhouse operated by the
Telamon Crime Family. While the odds are always in the houses favor, even more so than most, the cardhouse was a welcome addition to many of the locals who have had to endure the hardships that come with living in Han Harbor. The cardhouse is large enough for Varl and features a tafl table for the odd Varl ship that docks in the harbor.
Seashrine
The seashrine is an old pagan shrine that still gets some use from the locals, particularly the fisherfolk. Offerings are left at the shrine in hopes that the spirits of the sea will fend off storms, pirates, as well as bring good luck to those traveling or working the sea.
