Mountain's Shadow

The port of Mountain's Shadow is far bigger than the population of the mountains suggests it should be. The place has an air of bureaucratic efficiency and tidiness. The port serves the Senate and is often inundated by those called before it, in service of it and those who seek neutral ground to manage their conflicts. While much of it is grey mountain stone and the buildings tend towards more minimalist designs their are great pieces of architecture dotted around.    Here each of the great forces of Reef maintains embassies and meeting halls, aimed to monitor the whims of the senate. The Seer Senate itself is set back far into the mountains, inaccessible except for the support of careful guides and permitted to only those given the right to visit it.     The port also serves as one of the reception points for the vast amount of drugs that the Senate consumes to fuel its oracular power. These shipments are frequent and are in excess of what can be consumed to ensure that a significant stockpile can be maintained. This means that many vendors sell the excess allowing passengers to sample this potent mind-altering narcotics. This is often accomplished in high-end drug dens though a few seedier establishments catering at those poorly funded support staff are available.
