This small city is where the Lords of Seawort and their King hold court in the shadow of War`tin Fortress on the coast. The lightly guarded outpost and its small naval port frequently harass ships with demands for taxes paid to the Kingdom of Seawort for being allowed passage to Menden Harbor. Ships passing through here unaccosted present the ensign of Mirin with a courtesy flag of Seawort. Presenting the Mirin ensign without being in the Seawort Ship Registry of Mirin quickly leads to being boarded. Procurement of an individualized courtesy flag of Seawort requires paying a prohibitive amount of coin to the Registry of Talis. Other ships that pass without threat from Seawort includes maritime warships of Mirin, unless they are thought to be carrying cargo.
