Theropas (there-OH-pass)

Theropas is a busy harbor handling almost all shipping sent through the south - whether it's headed north to Torthuíl and beyond, or west to Laidír and Eruuj, or even southwards towards the spice islands to pick up more cargo, almost all ships dock at Theropas. However, that's not to say that Theropas is a fine city. Indeed, little of major note really occurs in this port town full of warehouses and dockworkers, as the goods are rarely ever unpacked or sold here. This has bred an interesting sort of environment, where most of the ordinary citizenry depends on shipments coming in but almost none are actually get to see the exotic goods they move.   A popular game in Theropas is Twister, a fast-paced gambling game of cards and quick wits.
A triumphant shout goes up from one of the crowded tables, "Tryabor, you fucking thief you did it again!"   A different voice bemoans, "My last five silver gone and still a day of shore leave, this is all your fault Upsiliden."
