Ilipur
Port in The Dragon Coast · the eyes and ears of Elversult
Ilipur is a port town on the south-western shore of the Lake of Dragons, which with its neighbour Pros loads and unloads the trade of Elversult.
Barges drag cargo through the shallows to a beach with no docks, officials hold out their hands for fees, and someone is always watching the crates.

Overview
Ilipur has only a shallow harbour without docks: cargo has to be moved to shore on barges, and new ships are built on land and pushed into the water. It is ruled by a council of burghers and a lord mayor, and Elversult's traders expect to pay fees and bribes.
In 1370 DR the Cult of the Dragon used Ilipur to smuggle magic and other goods, opposed by the Harpers and others; by 1372 DR, thieves and slavers preyed on unguarded cargo.
