Gundbarg

Port · the Gateway Port

Gundbarg, the Gateway Port, is the main city of the island of Gundarlun and the largest settlement in the northern Trackless Sea, where nearly every ship crossing the sea stops.

Drydocks, sail lofts and warehouses crowd the harbour, ships of every flag take on water and food, and captains for hire drink by the fire in the harbour inns.

Overview

Gundbarg lies on Gundarlun, an island of the Northlanders in the Trackless Sea. Its economy rests on fishing, farming, mining and above all on serving ships: almost every vessel crossing the northern sea stops here for water, food, repairs, new crew or trade, and the city offers it all at fair prices.

The city keeps a standing force of warriors who serve as the city guard and crew the king's warships. In the late 14th century DR it was home to about 12,000 people.
