History

Haskenport is a small town at the edge of a shallow sea. It was founded about thirty years ago, when Reynard Hasken, a paladin of St. Cuthbert, decided to retire to the area. He built a manor and a small private dock, and his followers created the community nearby. The town would have stayed just a hamlet were it not for the discovery of an edible mushroom, the bloodcap mushroom, in the local seacaves.
At about the time of this discovery, a traveling gourmet happened to be aboard a ship that was forced to dock at the small port. Upon sampling the local mushrooms, he fell in love with them. He took a considerable number with him, and soon demand for them grew in his home city and its environs. Supplying mushrooms created a stable income for the town, and it grew to a modest size.
Though it is a functioning port, Haskenport receives little trade because only vessels with shallow drafts can put in here. Those merchants that take the trouble to trade here come for only one thing: the unusual variety of mushroom that has made Haskenport famous.
