ANCHORAGE

Perched on the eastern coast and aptly known as the "Doorway to the North," Anchorage serves as a crucial gateway to Krinshelm, nestled in the frozen Valley of Kings. This port city, strategically located at the foothills of the Icewall Barrens, functions as the primary link between the icy heart of Krinshelm and the broader world beyond.

 

Anchorage is more than just a port; it is the bustling lobby of Krinshelm, where the city's commercial and political dealings are set in motion. Here, traders, diplomats, and adventurers converge, engaging in negotiations and transactions that serve the needs of the settlement to the north. Its position as the main entry point means that Anchorage plays a pivotal role in facilitating trade and ensuring the flow of goods and information to Krinshelm. Despite its importance to Krinshelm, Anchorage remains under the subtle influence of Hamm. Although Port Distance is Hamm’s principal deep harbour stronghold in the region, Anchorage's strategic position allows Hamm to maintain some level of control through the weight of sovereigns and political maneuvering. The rugged climate and diverse population of Anchorage reflect the city's vital role in the northern trade network. From traders seeking new markets to shady figures involved in clandestine activities, the port is a mixture of commerce and intrigue. The streets of Anchorage hum with the energy of deals struck and secrets exchanged, making it a place of intrigue and opportunity.
