The Port The grand walls of Archais extend eastward out into the city; it is here that massive, grand arches open the heavy stone walls to ships, and merchant vessels.
Archais is a trade superpower and its dock are large, and heavily protected. The docks themselves are separated from the main districts of the city by walls that close it off and then extend off into the sea, and the arches that allow vessels in can be sealed off by great, rusted gates in times of crisis. At all times there is a company of vigilants patrolling the docks, and monitoring the loading and unloading of goods, along with collecting the heavy taxes the city imposes.
NPCs
Name: Senior Vigilant Anders Description: Anders is a heavyset man, with a huge brown beard. He's a sarcastic man, who thinks very highly of himself--perhaps a bit too highly. It is rumored that the city isn't quite getting all the money it should be, and it is Anders that is the last hand the port's taxes passes through before it is turned into the ministry of commerce.
