Port Blacksand
Port Blacksand
Port Blacksand, once named Blacksands Town and now also known as the City of Thieves, is a busy port and notorious den of thieves on the north-western coast of Allansia, ruled over by the mysterious Lord Azzur. The architecture favours overhanging upper storeys and many strange decorative follies like towers, bridges and interconnecting passages above the ground. The buildings of Blacksand are painted many colours and most shops have signs indicating their trade hanging outside. The streets are unclean, covered in mud and droppings. Back streets in the older parts of the town tend to be cobbled and some of them are stepped. Starving men suspended in cages and black flags hang from the city walls, as fearsome warnings of this notorious city. Port Blacksand is also home to a strange wizard by the name Nicodemus.Politics and Factions
Lord AzzurThe Royal Guard patrols the distinctively clean grounds of Lord Azzur's palace. The Elite of the guards are two rather intelligent Half-Trolls. Azzur is a cunning ruler, and only travels outside his palace on important matters. Locals know to get out of the way of the eight horse-drawn black carriage, as it doesn't stop for anyone, just like its owner. Every citizen of Port Blacksand pays their tax duly, because they know it is a small price for living in the wrathful Lord Azzur's city.
