Geirsa (Geer-suh)
Geirsa is the most populous settlement in Scytharia, and is also its busiest port. Situated at the northern edge of Scytharia's west coast, and shielded from the worst of the West Sea's weather by its presence in White Feather Fjord, Geirsa is an attractive port for ships that have business in Scytharia. Most ships sailing south from Geirsa are either dedicated icebreakers headed for the southern coast, or at least have hulls fortified well enough to make for smaller ports in Borbeta, Malmhus or Skagi.
Demographics
The population of Geirsa is dominated by Scytharian and Göthemiri humans, as well as Bearfolk. It's more of a melting pot than most of Scytharia, and has a large number of Oceonoi and Torvar present at any given moment, and is home to a small community of Diz'res. Stopovers by ships from Normaer and Nehemen are common, but nearly all of their captains steadfastly refuse to sail any farther south, and general seek to leave as soon as their goods are unloaded. Khalvar and Khal'res aren't completely unheard of, but are generally rare.
Government
Geirsa is headed by a chieftain named Jannik, who delegates some of the headaches of administration to his five lieutenants, three Urskan and two human.
Infrastructure
Geirsa is an active port city, and has the means to support itself, from elaborate docks with cargo cranes to grain silos and textile warehouses.
