Merchant’s Bluff
Part of Fradavarenah Province, this city lies on the southern shore of an inlet of the Celestean Sea, on high ground overlooking lowland fields. By establishing a series of dams and accommodating for the occasional flooding, area farmers are able to regularly produce good crops; this is profitable for them as well as the traders in Merchants’ Bluff. Lumbering is also popular, with valuable hardwoods in the area. Religion here emphasizes interaction with the ocean. One temple is dedicated to the pantheon of all gods on behalf of sailors who may be lost at sea. Another temple is to a very ancient sea deity, the god Poseidon.
Unfortunately, Merchants’ Bluff has been having problems in the past year or two, both with respect to the friendliness to outside traders (in this case, the lack thereof) and in the failure to keep the docks in good repair. Some captains are talking about no longer stopping here, but so far the city seems to still be in business.
