Farthest Point
Established three centuries ago by an expedition from the City-State of Castorhage, Farthest Point was the first foothold by a foreign power in the Xha’en region and caused considerable consternation among the imperial court. The outpost survived through skillful diplomacy and good fortune, and today is a significant location for the Castorhagi, with extensive shipyards, barracks, sturdy walls, and port facilities. Trade delegations from the Hegemony, the The Thousand Rocks, and the normally-insular Gtsang Prefecture are also here helping to establish a mercantile connection that the emperor and the Castorhagi hope keeps the peace and fosters ties between the disparate nations.
Farthest Point has grown in size and prominence over the years, as Castorhage’s colonies in the Elitani lands to the north expand. Supply vessels, merchant ships, and ships of the Royal Castorhage Navy make port here. A small fleet of Castorhagi warships has been permanently assigned here at the insistence of the colony’s governor, Lord Duke Taneth. Though he maintains this is entirely for defensive purposes, it is widely thought that he intends to create a diplomatic incident with the Hegemony as a pretext for invading Quy Island and wants to use his newly-reinforced fleet to do it.
