Port Lienna
Location: Southeastern Aridell coastline, west of the Perished Marshes
Population: 22,000
Current Allegiance: The Twained Empire (Imperial Maritime Authority – Southern Division)
Known For: Tea and silks importation, displaced noble exiles, gray market caravans, naval academies
Port Lienna was once a jewel of Reunian, famed for its beautiful docklands and aromatic gardens. During the Dragonborn War, however, the city fell in battle. The ruling duke was assassinated by his own cousin, who opened the gates to Dragonborn envoys in exchange for power. The betrayal sparked a wave of purges that has not been forgotten, even decades later. Under Dragonborn control, Lienna became a symbol of “graceful transition.” Its noble estates were left intact, though ownership shifted to new Imperial lords. The port remained opulent, now filled with high-ranking officers and foreign merchants. Behind the tea houses and vibrant market plazas, however, lies a culture of subtle resistance. The city’s Imperial Naval Academy produces many of the Twained Empire’s elite navigators and alchemic engineers. Yet, a secret tradition persists, the Lute of Mourning, played only at midnight, heard on balconies by those who remember the port’s history. Lienna serves as the meeting point between the Coppersted and Reun trade routes and mercantile affairs. Its elegance hides deep-rooted scars and those who remember the occupation are not soon to forget it.
