[b]Navigator Harbor[/b] [columns][size=4] The heart of the City and the reason for its thriving economic success. What at first seemed like a small group trying to profit of a good location on Sornieth grew to be a major merchant harbor with several dragons knowing the place as both a tourist attraction and a cornerstone of trading and adventure. All thanks to the on-going efforts of the Kingsmith family and their Navigator Guild of Merchant and Explorers. As the heads of the richest family in the city, Farris and Nephilim are considered clan leaders in all but name and every dragon residing at Porto knows exactly how far and wide their power, connections and money go as they manage to keep the entire city wrapped around their fingers and keep control of land, taxes, security and laws. While dragons from other clans often see the Navigator Guild as a prosper and fair group, the other factions in Porto have their own... Considerations about relating to the Guild. Regardless of it, all agree on the importance of the Guildmasters in keeping the city's economic growth and at the end of the day, those living in Porto only follow one deity: profit.

In the past simply a ballroom and place for celebrations, the place has since been reformed into a fantastic museum after many years of exploration and adventures taken by the popular duo of the [b]Navigator Sisters[/b] through Sornieth.

Although rumours of the place being haunted kept many investors away, the place has since been completely reformed by Mercurio and Venus, owners of the place and patrons of the widely popular [b]Greatshell Casino[/b], a joint venue between the Navigator Guild and Exalts from Tidelord's army. What do you mean it's used for tax evasion? [I]How dare you[/I] say something like that! [b]Dragons often found here:[/b] Mercurio, Venus, Cypress, Jenny, Bart [/columns]

[b]Helgardr Keep and the Royal Armada[/b] [i]"I hate to break it to you, Farris, but you're the only one who calls it Royal Armada."[/i] [columns][size=4] As the Navigator Guild reigns over town with their power and influence, the dragons at Helgardr Keep were specifically hired for one job: keeping citizens in line. As so, Helvandr became head of Justice and legal efforts with her subclan acting as her supporting party in maintaining the city's security as well as ensuring wrong-doers are found and punished. They report directly to the Navigator Guild's leader of the Royal Guard, Brie, and are known around town as Keepers, as they follow the gaoler's structure for handling prisoners and organising their efforts.

The Palace of Justice The oldest building in town, dating from before the Navigator Guild settled, back when Porto was mostly part of the Tangled Woods and did not reach the Sea of a Thousand Currents. The place was occupied by shy and demure Fjellsid and her husband, who acts as the town's judge, maintaining a neutral party on conflicts, much to the chagrin of the Navigator Guild and to the benefit of the other factions. As long as they follow the laws, he'll give them a fair trial, no bribes. I said no bribes, Farris.

Living in a huge old warehouse, the group of divinators and scryers remain above the city's conflicts and daily life, often providing aid only for matters involving Deities, Exalt armies and rescue of shipwrecks. The small group is led by Luar, the local Water Representative. [b]Dragons often found here:[/b] Luar, Accalia, Zara, Eudora and Maeve [/columns]

[center] [b]The barrel[/b][/center] The reason we call it "The Barrel" is because the people living there don't get along at all and they're always sabotaging other's lifes. It's pretty much a gunpowder barrel waiting for an explosion. It's the centre portion of the town where most of the local services and establishments are and where most dragons will go for shopping and trading. As the economic heart of town, the area is safely guarded by the Keepers of Helgardr Keep and heavily patrolled by the Clan Scouts. Even so, the animosities between the very successful and rich Barrel, it's own ambitious and greedy citizens and the Pirate Bay sellers will mean that every once in a while, there are conflicts and fights happening. [b]Scholar Side[/b] The royal library and school where all of town's records are kept by resident scholars and escribes, Sveta and Andras. Sveta's wife Signe is often seen here, when not supporting the Keepers on their missions. The Royal Apothecary, where Iddras will take alchemy requests for the right prize, is also found here as is the artifacts and antiques shop led my exotic foreigner Morana. The place is under Navigator Management at the attentive hands of Atlas, navigator representative and manager.

Sitting right besides Santa Fé, they provide the clan with forage that is typically found in Water Flight, as well as the herbs and teas used for divinations and scrying the Water Seers require. There is a lot of investigation going as [I]some dragons[/I] from the Navigator Guild believe they may be providing the scrying herbs and teas to citizens under the blankets. Alas, investigations have been inconclusive so far but the Horto Greenhouse refuses to side with the Navigator Guild, instead offering it's Alliance to Pegleg Kelly's group, the Snapdragon Drag.

Also where the Keepers reside officially, despite being at Helgardr Keep most of the time. The area is home to the most expensive jewellery and armoury shop in town, the Whisp Forgefire. The city hatchlings will often be found hanging around Military Side as former Royal Guard Leader Brie has been put in charge of taking care of them since the arrival of the Keepers.

Rayan, however, is hardly ever at the area, often busy investigating and interviewing dragons in search of complains or scoops for the Daily Mail. Shura is usually found at the Faipur Residence or the Navigator Guildquarters, but officially rents a room here to live. As the two clan's couriers are often outside their base working, the Postal Service is left closed most of the time. While everybody agrees that Courier service is working perfectly, the clan struggles with receiving a proper influx of news as well as managing arriving parcels. Jobs vacant, apply today.

Often acting as Eleanor's bodyguard, but officially the towns' Beastclan Specialist, is Mimirra, a very reclusive and mysterious nocturne who recently joined the clan. She coordinates Beastclan efforts from the Abbey. The place is owned by popular Opera Singer and neutral party Ada, who is Porto's darling, being friendly and loved all around town.

[center][b]Porto's Pirate Bay / Pegleg Quay[/b][/center] [I]"Farris, get over it, calling it Pegleg Quay doesn't change the fact it's a Pirate Bay."[/I] Right at the heart of Porto is the large bay of Caramaelstron Beach which divides the city between the Navigator Harbor and the Pegleg Quay. As the less noble characters start appearing, only the bravest tourists follow the shores of the former Pirate Bay, revealing the more bohemian [s]and illicit[/s] sides of the city as the Stormsbane Wharf and the Faipur Docks rise in the horizon on the shores of Portopeixe and Porto Porto, respectively. With the Gilly n' Gull tavern sitting at the very heart of the two as their common ground and meeting place, the area is often sought by those looking to escape the Navigator rule over the city as well as enjoy nightlife after the curfew imposed by the Helgardr Keepers. [b]Portopeixe and the Stormsbane Wharf[/b] Housing the second largest faction in the city, the Stormsbane Wharf offers cheaper taxes for docking boats although they still submit to the Navigator Guild at the end of the fiscal year... You don't need to bother with details. You're free to park, they charge less, but the place certainly drives home the fact that they are [I]not[/I] the diplomatic kind. Hailing from the Scarred Wasteland, the Stormsbane crew believes in surviving at all costs and will not hesitate robbing, pick pocketing or downright pillaging whatever goods you leave hanging around. Needless to say, the Keepers have the time of their life trying to find evidence against the Stormsbane dragons, but they are really [I]good[/I] at not leaving any trace of their thefts behind. At night, most dragons are found at the Gilly n' Gull tavern and it's surroundings, the Gilly Walls.

It's comprised of nine buildings and the Peatonal that oversees the waters over a small stone wall where you'll often find lots of dragons sitting by to drink. Some of the warehouses are home to fancy restaurants, pawn shops, and the well known Porto Food Club but they are all considered part of the complex known in town as the Gilly n' Gull tavern, owned by Clan Leader Pegleg Kelly and managed by his several associates, including Gilly – from whom the place borrows the name, Carolinda, Lynn, Vanessa and Hakim. Oh, by the way, watch your pockets, the place isn't exactly in the safest areas of town.

With the same size and positioning as it's twin sibling at the other side of the Bay, the place could potentially rival Greatshell Hotel should it's residents opt to turn the place into a tourist attraction. However, the Faipur Caravan takes pride in being a close-knit group that is pretty much familiar and so the gigantic Blueridge Greatshell Hotel is simply a private home, having even been renamed Faipur Residence. As the caravan return from their travels once a week with goods gathered from other flights than Water, most dragons in town see themselves forced to venture through the whole of Pegleg Quay towards the Faipur Docks in order to buy the finest import goods and produce the town has to offer.

[center][b]Maren Shores[/b] The long section on sand shores that stretch for a few miles between Caramaelstron Bay and the Portos Beaches, Porto Porto and Porto Peixe Is made up of a few different beaches, islets and the watchposts between them. [b]The Lighthouse[/b] Living in the old Lighthouse is Marieta and her twins (that aren't twins, nor aren't hers). Nobody is quite sure [I]what[/I] Marieta works with, only that she'll always have a surplus of money she's willing to lend, so long as you never forget that you own her something. She's mysterious and very popular around town... Certainly among the richest members of the clan. Her husband is Quill, known for being responsible for the city now having a Representative Council for each Flight. At their toll are the Sour Twins, Sour Grape and Sour Cream, who are in fact responsible for managing the Lighthouse at night, first watch done by Cream, second one by Grape. Marieta takes the job of informing of arriving ships during the day. Quill is just using her money as her boytoy (if you can call a 50yo man a boytoy, that is).

The fact she is a Maren in dragon disguise is not exactly a secret, but she acts as so. On more recent years, a fabled coven of dark magic and practitioners has been... gathering around the Maren Shores once every fullmoon. They call themselves the Nilfay Coven, but not much more is known about them. If you're curious, however, you should go find Freya Nilfay, who is the coven leader.

Because of the large boat influx at it's waterfront and piers, the beach isn't fit for bathing but it's still a popular place with several food and sales stalls offering a wide range of products. Local town vagrant Caio lives under one of the many piers reaching into the waters of Caramaelstron, the Keepers are always on his tracks but since he never does anything exactly [I]agaisnt the law[/I] they have no leverage to arrest him. [I]Being homeless by choice or circumstance is not a crime, Farris[/I], Judge Edd would say. [img]https://flightrising.com/rendern/coliseum/portraits/579342/57934166.png[/img]
