Spur Harbor

Introduction

A trio of Necromancers known colloquially as the Council run and manage Spur Harbor, a large seaside city on the eastern coast of the Fractured Lands. Most menial labor as well as the guard force for Spur Harbor is supplied by mindless undead under the strict control of the Council and their direct proxies. They are not evil and are generally considered fair and reasonable leaders. Most decisions are handled by Agatha and Eldarin directly, while major city decisions are handled by a vote among the three of them, when Talasin can be bothered to get involved.

Locations of Note

There are four major sections of the city: Hilltop, Dockside, East Acre, and The Flats. There is also a small fortified set of barracks across the river, used by Bonemaster Agatha to train Watch Captains and their skeleton servants.

Hilltop

Hilltop is the home of the city’s affluent residents, as well as a large school for the magical arts known simply as the Arcanum. Most of the city’s municipal buildings are here as well.

The Arcanum The Arcanum is a school for the magical arts, training spellcasters on a variety of paths. The Arcanum houses a large and well-stocked library of instructional and magical tomes, as well as four towers filled with dormitories, classrooms, laboratories, testing grounds, and more. Samantha Halliday is the Master of Evocation for the school.

Dockside

Dockside is the southern section of the city, naturally containing the docks and supporting infrastructure, but is also the location of most of the city’s inns, taverns, brothels, and other entertainments and lodging.

Blackbender Storage and Shipping Umrag Blackbender manages the Spur Harbor location of her family’s storage and shipping company. The Blackbenders have learned to squeeze order from chaos, and the efficiency of their leadership shows in the organization and productivity of their warehouses. Xandria arranged storage of Mr. Bondergan’s arcane engine in the Blackbender warehouse and had no issues whatsoever.

East Acre

East Acre is the mercantile quarter of the city. If you’re looking to spend coin on products and services, nearly all of them can be found somewhere in East Acre.

The Laughing Arsenal The Laughing Arsenal is a sort of maker-space co-op, except every member is a gnomish inventory that specializes in some form of mayhem or another. The inventors here are often happy to sell prototypes and “failed” attempts at one thing as “successful” attempts at whatever the item actually happens to do. Corston is one of the inventors currently working out of the Arsenal.

The Green Book Alufarisian Uhumonaris never actually bothered to name his place of business. He simply found a green piece of wood, rather adeptly carved in the image of an open book and hung it outside his door. Having nothing else to call it, visitors to The Green Book can expect to find Al here most hours, tinkering away on some item for a customer or working in the back on his unknown research.

The Rainy Flame The Rainy Flame is the shop and storefront of the talented silversmith Iklal. The primary trade of The Rainy Flame is artistic or decorative silverwork. However, Iklal is capable of some small magics, and is potentially able to craft magical items out of silver as well.

The Gnarly Gnashers The Gnarly Gnashers are an independent mercenary organization with a reputation for aggressiveness. They are known to be “worth the coin” among those with a use for mercenary work. Mulberry is the newest member of the Gnashers and has been taken under the wing of the founder, a one-eyed gnoll named Tarsk.

The Flats

The Flats is the primary residential area of the city, and is where the huge bulk of the permanent population of the city resides. Taervek has a small apartment on the northwest side of The Flats.

The Barracks

You don’t know much about the barracks at this time, but you know from Taervek that Bonemaster Agatha uses the area to train her necromancers and Watch Captains.
