Black Marsh

Black Harbor is a major city along the western coast of the Vaeros Sea. Although nominally within the boundaries of the Kingdom of Greywind, the city lays much closer to the rival Nazca Empire than the Pelorian capital. Settled within the Yugari River basin, the terrain surrounding Black Harbor is totally dominated by the vast reaches of Black Marsh.

The swamplands of Black Marsh itself are well populated by various lizardmen races, bullywugs, and savage tribes of man.

History & Rule
The Khaldurn family have been the ruling nobles of Black Marsh for at least two centuries, but their authority have recently fallen to ruin after the death of family patriarch Arthurian Khaldurn. The eldest daughter of Arthurian served as a paladin in Greywind until her death; his only son, Nathan, has not been seen for quite some time.

With the noble family unable to exert their aristocratic power, day to day rule has fallen to a shared responsibility between Town Administrator Davis Roltan and Greywind Bishop, Alphonso Cavallino.

Religion
Temples within the area include Ioun, Pelor, and Corellon. A cult of Orcus has been identified within the city, especially since the death of the Khaldurn lord.

Due to its relative isolation from the major powers of the human world, the city is frequented by traders from all ports of call, even pirate crews and Sahuagin broods. These foreigners bring their own unique beliefs and gods.
