Name: Freeport
Classification: Large City
Population: 15,650 (mostly traders)
Mix: 77% human, 6% half-elf, 5% halfling, 4% gnome, 4% drawf, 2% elf, 2% other
Freeport is located on the eastern edge of the neck of Mora's peninsula, at the south side of the great wall. Most travelers come to Freeport via ship as overland routes are fraught with peril. Sailing into the city habour is treacherous and filled with numerous jagged reefs. Serveral scuttled ships rot in the habour, left there to provide cover against any large invasion; a single ship can pass through the maze of wrecks and reefs with relative easy if they have the proper charts or one of Freeport's habour masters aboard, but a large fleet would never make it through in time to pose a threat to the city. Once a person passes into the habour of Freeport, the city is open to them. A thriving city of commerce, whaling, and intrigue.
Certianly the smell of the city is breathtaking - a tremendous riot of exotic spices, smoke, humanity, salt air and sewage that assualt the senses. Perfumes and scented candles are very popular commodities in Freeport
Unlike most cities, the vast majority of Freeport's inhabitants are warriors rather then commoners - it is simply too rough a place to harbour many common folk. Freeport itself is spilt into seven districts, each with its own personality. These districts are seperated by inner walls and by the network of canals or rivers. Friendly competition between the districts is common, espically during festivals, yet the citizens of Freeport do not hesitate to come to each others aid.
Azure: Azure District is Freeport's true waterfront.
Chapion's: Champion's District towers over Freeport's western skyline, a district of soliders, gladitors, mercenaries adn warriors, who follow generally are employed by the marines of the Golden Horn navy.
Cudgel: Cudgel District is primarily a residental district.
Merchant: Freeport's heart, and perhaps even it soul, is lodged firmly in Merchant District.
Noble: Noble District is the ruling district of Freeport even through Castle Quasqueton. Yet it is here that the Proudwalker's have their villa.
Shadowshore: Although relatively small, Shadowshore is prehaps the most notorious of Freeport's districts. Having been a haven for theives, thugs, and criminals of all kinds.
Sunrise: Like Cudgel District, Sunrise is primarily residential.
