Port Nyanzaru

Port Nyranzaru (alternate spelling, Port Nyanzaru ) was a port in northern Chult that was an Amnish colony in 1479 DR. It was the major trading center for all of Chult.

Geography
The small port city was located on the Bay of Chult at the mouth of the River Soshenstar.

Government
By 1479 DR, Amn controlled all mercantile activities in the city, and people unaffiliated with a trading company were forced to live in shantytowns outside the walls.

Defenses
The port was protected by a high stone wall and designed with defense as a priority, due to the many pirates in the waters of the Shining Sea.

Rumors
While unconfirmed, it was thought that the harbormaster in control in the late 14th century DR paid tribute to a powerful dragon turtle living in the Bay of Chult. In exchange for this monthly pay, the dragon turtle kept all other sea monsters from harming the port and hindering trade.

Inhabitants
The Triceratops Society was very active in Port Nyranzaru, controlling the unloading and loading of all cargo at the docks. They kept tabs on all visitors coming ashore, especially if a visitor was suspected of being a mage or carrying magical items. If the visitor headed off into the jungle, the Society would send agents to notify the surrounding villages.
