Royal Port

The Royal Port of Ironshore is a bustling hub of activity, and serves as a gateway to the city, and to the wider lands of Ironcladach. Located on the coast, the port is a major center for trade and commerce, with ships coming and going at all hours. The outskirts of the port border a vast market, where merchants gather from all over the world to trade their goods.
The Royal Port is a sprawling complex of docks, warehouses, and administrative buildings. It is overseen by the port authority, who make an effort to keep the more illicit goods from being imported into the city. The docks are lined with vessels of all shapes and sizes, from the smallest fishing vessels, to the largest noble transports. The warehouses are filled with goods from all over the world, including exotic spices, textiles, precious metals, and other valuable goods.
At the heart of the port is the administration center, where city officials handle things like immigration and other official business, and they manage the regular influx of goods being imported and exported. The center is home to the port authority, where they oversee tax related business, and issue fines for mechants caught with illegal goods.
Despite the frenetic activity of the port, it is also a place of great beauty. The buildings in the area are very well maintained, and often created with high quality materials. From the shore, visiters can gaze out into the crystal clear ocean for a perfect view of the rising sun. At night, the port is illuminated by numerous torches and streetlamps, giving it a magical, otherworldly glow. For visiters to Ironshore, the Royal Port is most often the first, and the last impression that they have of the city and it leaves a lasting impression on all to pass through.
