Port Bliss

Port Bliss is one of the largest port cities in Esai. Located on the northern coast of Lindelt, the small city is responsible for food distribution from the fertile lands of Lindelt to the otherwise ravaged wilds of the rest of the world, mainly corn and wheat. Its main imports include luxury goods such as oils, perfumes, and precious stones, as well as rare spices from the coast of Mirrah and Ocarus. Many wealthy patrons make their home in Port Bliss (such as the smithing guild known as The Forge), leaving also as a cultural hub for the arts.

Port Bliss is ostensibly ruled by its Mayor, though the majority of the political power of the city rests in the hands of the wealthiest merchants. However, it is also home to a thriving criminal element. Port Bliss has one of, ironically, the most well known thieves guilds in Esai. The guild has an agreement with the city guard, unknown to the general populace, where their activities are left mainly undeterred as long as no acts of thievery occur against the guard itself.

The most powerful man in Port Bliss is Baron Henri LaFleur. A self-appointed baron, he owns a number of warehouses in the western slums and is one of the wealthiest men in Esai. He has been seen in the company of a mysterious white haired man, and rumor has it he has been dabbling in occult rituals.
