West Harbour

West Harbour is a small town in the Mere of Dead Men. Due to its swampy terrain and annual harvest festival where the inhabitants compete against each other to win prizes in tests of skill, the villagers of West Harbour (referred to as "harbourmen") are renowned in the lands surrounding them for their natural hardiness. This is due to the fact that they are constantly under threat from the dangers of the marshes, particularly lizardfolk. This puts harbourmen in high demand for military service. The swamp also makes West Harbour’s farmland incredibly fertile and more than enough crops are grown to sustain the village.

West Harbour is renowned for the hero, the Kalach-Cha, who defeated the King of Shadows several decades ago.
