The World of Syl'Ourah

Hey friends! I'm gonna start posting about the mostly homebrew world that'll be the focus for my next campaign with my partner. So keep your eyes posted for the tag |Syl'Ourah| for world information and |Tale of Grimshaw| for updates on the campaign as we play!

Redgate Harbor

Redgate Harbor is an interesting place. On the surface, it's a small town sitting at the base of the Stairway to Cinder. But the Forgeborn Coalition has spent a considerable amount of time and resources to turn the location into a sort of warehouse district for storing objects of indeterminate interest and value found further up the stairs. Redgate Harbor sits in a bay protected by mountains on all sides, save for one sliver in the wall large enough for a single sailing ship to pass through. Everybody refers to this as the "Red Gate" which the town takes its name after. While you can reach the stairs from other locations, Redgate Harbor happens to be the easiest way to begin the ascent if you can afford the entry fee charge by the coalition. If you simply try to barge through, the armed forces of the coalition will come down hard to destroy you and salvage whatever valuables may be left. This doesn't mean there's never anybody to slip through though. As the saying goes, "where there's a will, there's a way" and smugglers from all across the isles want the riches that could exist up the steps as much as the next person.
