The Dusk Ports were a collection of seemingly free trade cities on the western shores of the Dragon Sea. In reality, they were vassal states to the green dragon Orlarrakh.[1]
Government
Although in appearance each port was an independent and self-ruling state, rival to each other and never cooperating in anything, in reality all ports were under the thumb of Orlarrakh, the Green Duchess, who in turn was a vassal of the ruler of Melabrauth.[1]
Geography
The Dusk Ports were located on the western shore of the Dragon Sea.
Locations
- Dusklan—A city of racial diversity that harbored escaped slaves, if only to use them as sacrifices to Orlarrakh.[1]
- Lylorn—The dominant Dusk Port as of 1479 DR. Lylorn boasted the most far-reaching trade network and the most aggressive sailors.[2]
- Marrauk—A bleak and wind-scoured city in an equally desolate hillside, it featured a busy shipping trade and a fiercely defiant government.[2]
- Mreyelundar—A city of lawlessness and home of the strange Order of the Dawn. It was the most actively anti-draconic of the five cities.[2]
- Tarsith—A calm fishing community known for their exports of rock crabs and fine sailing equipment.[2]
Notable Inhabitants
- Dauna Lorastur, the ruler of Marrauk in 1479 DR.[2]
- Narnorn, a legendary thief in Mreyelundar.[2]
- Rowan Babar, the leader of the Order of the Dawn in 1479 DR.[1]
- Zasheena Drethyl, a head member of the Shadowkiss.[2]
