Overview
Soldier Port is a relatively new settlement on Griffin Island. It was founded by merchants hoping to trade with the interior of the island. For years control of the area transition from local Zaring chieftains whom terrorized and exploited the merchants to merchants with sufficiently strong mercenary forces to hold their own. Over time, walls and the tower have been constructed as some measure of defence for whomever is in control of Soldier Port. Recently, they have been cleaned up and improved some, though they are short, weak, and poorly constructed by mainland standards.
Maugre is the latest merchant to come to the region with a sufficiently strong mercenary force. He married into several local Zaring families and has established himself as both the ruler of Soldier Port and the legitimate ruler of the local Zaring clan, known simply as the Soldier Port Clan. Maugre also acts as the local priest of the Hilme temple when no other priest is available, though he gladly defers to any more prominent priest whom arrives.
Soldier Port is the only established port on the island, so all trade on and off the island travels through this town so the town receives taxes on all goods and persons coming and going.
