The Top

Sitting atop the only hill of any note in Port Blackheart is the Lawless Fortress, the castle that serves as the residence of the current ruler. Over time various rulers have added various amendments and extensions to the fortress until it is now an arcane, twisting monument full of secret wings and rooms, most lying empty, their original uses forgotten. The area around the fortress is called the Top and it is here that you can find most of the embassies in the city. The streets are wide and well lit and this is the one area of the city patrolled by guards who, if you’re lucky, might intervene if you were being mugged. They might not though.
