''Sunport was founded at the early onset of the Umayyad conquest of Spain, as from it's beginning it garnered a reputation for being a safe port in the Mediterranean sea as well as a fertile land. It's proximity to several trade routes and calm beaches made it a popular spot for merchants and their crews - for centuries to come. Nowadays, Sunport has grown accustomed to a incredibly mixed population: from English, Germans and Netherlanders seeking its warm climate, to merchant crews from Greece and Italy, to refugees and inmigrants from Morocco, Algeria, Libya or south America.''

''Aside from being a major commercial port, Sunport also produces close to 30% of the food - mostly vegetables, fruits and olive oil - exported to other countries. The high income from port taxes and food imports, and comparatively cheap labor, has made Sunport a very rich city... and it's politicians, too. Corruption and organized crime have become bedfellows - it's often difficult to tell when the politicians end and the criminals begins. Because of this, certain crimes are tolerated or turned a blind eye (after all, vices are profitable) but most forms of violent crimes are severely frowned upon (violence scares tourists and customers). Criminals that don't know the lay of the land often run afoul of the biggest gang in the city: the police.''

''Yet, despite this, Sunport remains a city almost untouched by... well, almost everything. Despite the growing fear of global warming, Sunport's summers are pleasantly warm, and it's winters mild. Despite the rampant corruption in the country, most of the city's politicians are a little less corrupt and incompetent than the average. The harvests remain bountiful, and the seas remain calm and prosperous. People come - most stay from a while, but an increasingly large number seeks a life in the city - to never be seen again. And yet they keep coming, almost as if drawn by something they themselves cannot define...''
