Alphar

Alphar was the largest settlement on Alphar Isle in the Pirate Isles on the Sea of Fallen Stars

Geography
Alphar was located on the western coast near the middle of the island.

Government
Unlike the other settlements scattered though the Pirate Isles, Alphar had its own form of government separate from the influence of any pirate captains. This government was headed by Selshin Toshant, an ex-pirate, in 1359 DR.

Defenses
Alphar maintained a standing militia to defend the town. Its harbor had several breakrocks and a harbor chain was deployed during years past, but the chain had fallen into a state of disrepair as of 1359 DR.

The residents of Alphar took a strong stand against minor incursions such as raids, but outright attacks from sovereign nations were not met head on. Instead, the residents typically abandoned the town to its fate in order to live and rebuild later.
