City of Portsmouth
Portsmouth is a port city situated on the North-East coast of the isthmus, where the river meets the sea. The city is close to both the Iron Hills and Faenwood, and maintains good trade relations with the local elves, dwarves and halflings. Goods arrive and depart by road, river, and sea, making Portsmouth the pre-eminent commercial hub of the isthmus. A canal network supplements the river as a means of moving goods through the city.
The river acts as a natural social and economic dividing line. The northern bank is where wealth, commerce, and civic power concentrate. The southern bank is more industrial and rougher in character.
Portsmouth is governed by a Mayor, along with a Small Council, and a Large Council. Every five years, the Large Council elect a candidate from the Small Council to serve as mayor. The Small Council consists exclusively of the heads of the merchant families of Portsmouth. The Large Council includes a broad range of the city's merchants, the captains of the city guard and navy, members of the judiciary, the high priests of each temple, and other respected members of the city.
