Port City
Port City is the second largest city in Vivisand, sprawling away from the edge of the ocean like a network of thick vines. The main economic driver in Port City is, as the name suggests, the vast ports along the waters edge. The poor in the city have no choice but to work on the docks for 3 silver pieces a day while the wealthy shipping barons sit in their mansions over looking the ocean.
Demographics
The impoverished and the wealthy are separated by a very large gap, the closer to the docks you get the nicer the area, with the exception of dock side bars and taverns.
Government
Duke Alonon governs the area as with the guidance of a royal adviser. HIs younger brother Baxi is also an advisor, but acts more like a rich playboy.
Defences
The Watchmens Guild is in charge of the protection of the city. Surrounded on all sides by walls, includng the bay
Industry & Trade
Import/Export businesses thrive here, with even a small shipping vessel you can make decent money, especially if you are willing to stray outside the law. Aside from that, farmers, guildsman, traveling merchants, small shops and large general stores, serve as the areas alternate form of income.
Infrastructure
The road ways are all cobbled and the buildings are in good upkeep, even in the poorer areas. The materials for building are very cheap thanks to the abundance of shipments. The docks here are the largest in all of Highmat.
