Izlude — the harbour that is also a barracks

A port built to do two jobs at once: trade with the world, and stop anyone sailing up to the capital.

The Swordsman Association keeps its yard here, and the King built an arena so that anyone with a weapon and something to prove has somewhere to prove it. There are docks for ships and moorings for airships, which makes Izlude the one place in the kingdom where a fisherman, a knight and an airship engineer will stand in the same queue. Off the coast: Byalan Island, a cave system under the sea, and the Temple of the Sea God.
