Hellaport (Hell-port)
Home of Treacherous Jack
Hellaport is a small coastal city located within Edelyin, east of the city of Gloomfield. The settlement is best known for as the home of the Natural Paladin Hero responsible for protecting the people from the calamity and plants from the old world, as well as fighting and sealing the Lord known as the 'Whispering Tyrant' in the frozen keeps.
Infrastructure
Hellawest possesses a limited infrastructure; the primary focus of industry in the community is the support of the Edelyin Imperial Navy, which uses the city's harbor to dock a portion of its ships when the port of Hellawest is full. Most of the navy is used to protect the coast of the Isle de Aero since it remains in its border and keeps an natural wind tunnel and their connection with the spirits to protect the land from dangerous individuals or threats.
Points of interest
An enormous statue to lost paladin hero, stands in the town's main square. Two hundred feet tall and built of solid marble, it is a true testament to the pride the town feels for its most famous protector.
Within view of the statue stands the Lost Paladin Statue and Historical Residence, a spacious, single-level house made of stone that celebrates The Paladin's contribution to the Shining Crusade. Although mostly funded through donations, The Ruler sometimes procures items for himself while leaving behind ostensibly historic artefacts that are in fact designed to promote himself and his lineage. The curator, Cincia Reviamo, is irritated by the Duke's blatant propaganda and disrespect for history
Tourism
- Treacherous Jack is a lighthouse, located at the northern end of the treacherous coastline between the mouth of Sellen River and the mouth of the Porth River, known as the Jagged Saw. It is one of the series of magical lighthouses constructed by Edelyin thousands of years ago, in order to protect the dense traffic along the coastline. Only a few of those lighthouses remain. Most of them are now ruins or broken relics of Edelyin's glorious past. Treacherous Jack is located just west of the Harbor Watch and presiding over the entrance to Hellawest's harbor. A submerged causeway connects the magical lighthouse to the shore, making it accessible by foot at lowwind tide. It is a stout, solid stone structure topped by an enormous flame-shaped object that glows brilliantly day and night. Treacherous Jack got its name from the fact that it randomly turns off its light and usually at the worst times. Hundreds of ships have been sunk because of its erratic function, but Treacherous Jack is a familiar and welcome sight to all sailors approaching Hellawest.
Geography
The city of Hellaport is located on the border eastern coast of Edelyin, built on a natural harbor within the region. The postion lies almost directly south-east of the capital, and the community supports itself with work from its largest neighbour.
The Edelyin coastline between Hellaport and the mouth of the River Porth is called Jagged Saw. This ragged coastline features rocky cliffs and shallow rock formations. The only natural harbor of the area is at Hellaport, though a lot of small boat-safe coves can be found along its length. The winds of the Inner Sea in this region blow at 30 to 40 miles per hour. To support the ship traffic, Old Edelyin has built thousands of towering, magically powered lighthouses along the coast, but only a few remain intact, while they are covered by foliage of any kind.
One of these lighthouses, located at near the harbor, is called the Treacherous Jack.
