Procampur/Port District

The Port District was a district of the city of Procampur in the Vast, comprising the harbor. It was officially outside the city proper and outside the Thultyrl's influence.

Description
Lying at the western end of the Great Way, beyond two huge towers, the Port District faced onto the Dragon Reach. The district was some quarter-mile (400 meters) wide, and extended a significant distance up the coast. The city didn't have an easily controlled harbor mouth, making the harbor difficult to defend well. Regardless, the port area was hemmed in by two stub walls leading off the main city walls that curved to meet the shore in a rough crescent. The north and south walls of the Port District each had a pair of gates leading to the coast roads, the High Trail and the North Road.

Being outside the city proper, the buildings here kept to no particular purpose, style, size, or roof color, unlike the other districts that were reserved for specific activities. It contained places that could not or would not fit into the other districts, being home to warehouses, fisherfolk, and ship-builders that needed to be nearer the sea, as well as stables and facilities for training and caring for mounts and livestock that didn't belong to Procampan authorities. There were also cheaper inns and taverns that catered to travelers, as well as a number of small "bed-and-beer" houses that huddled around them. It could be a crowded and dank place, and in parts disreputable.

Activities
Visitors, citizens, and foreign traders here could come and go freely and act as they liked, within reason. Adventurers new to the city were required to stay here, usually at one of the inns, rather than in the city itself.
