Portsin

The City of Portsin is built on within a sheltered cove on the north east side of Selkisle .
It is positioned on a major shipping lane and almost all of the trade goods for the island comes through it's docks. Portsin has several districts, including the docks, the midtown market and the barracks and training grounds of Selkish  military and navy.
The city sits at the bottom of a steep grade to the north, which is perched Oceanlook castle. It was here that the first landings of the mortal realm were, and the first battles of the Fey wars were fought 2000 years ago.
It is known for its gambling dens around the docks.

Government

The city is ruled by a counsel headed up by Lord Mayor Hutor  representing House Raynes  (who is firmly in the pocket of the thieves guild). Also on the counsel are representatives of House Brandon , House Brandywine, House Merrin  and House Oakvale. In addition, a separate merchant's counsel takes care of more day to day matters.

Defences

Lord Lawrence of House Brandon is in charge of the towns defences. He is also lord commander of the Island's Armies. The city is partoled by the Town Watch, though the docks are largely unpatrolled and the assembly of the dagger rules there.

Industry & Trade

Main industry is Fishing & Trade. Several pubs and inns. There is a grand market held every week on Saturday.
