=== Godswood ===

A combination of sacred/profane ground for various temples as well as ancient crypts and mausoleums are to be found in this small stand of ancient trees outside the city.  The area is proclaimed as property of The Sovereign, and touching the trees carries the penalty of death.  The ancient trees that cover the ground here are twisted and gnarled; the stone buildings below them are old – far older than Blackport itself – and rumors abound about what is to be found beneath them – vast riches, power, and of course, unholy death.  

These are the only living trees within several miles of Blackport, which greedily consumes wood for its forges and shipyard.  The Sovereign allows use and visits to the wood, so long as nothing is damaged or removed.  The place is used for holy ceremonies by several religions, some dark and others less so, in the area.
