Storm's Landing City Page

[HollowWorld]

-=-
Raised from the rubble of an old port, the city has been landscaped by many eager to take the place of a former popular travel destination. The noble committers laying claim to the harbor and inner district, while farmers and cutthroats have made their own niches off the backs of others' success.

In order to garner the most profit, the higher-ups vouch Storm's Landing is a cultural epicenter, accepting of all races. Travelers may find not all denizens echo this sentiment.

[General Information]

Situated along many trade routes, Storm’s Landing is used as a port of call on the route of most merchants and travelers. It is because of this influx of trade and people and its central location on the continent’s eastern side that Storm’s Landing has become a meeting point for multiple parties and peoples. Despite being one of the longest living cities of the Eastern Kingdoms, it has few exports, and none are of particular note. Most of Storm’s Landing’s produce and animal products go toward sustaining its own population, and the myriad of guests who find themselves filtering through the bustling port city.

The climate can best be described as moderate, with hot summers and warm winters. The humidity is generally low, and the salty sea air blows in and keeps the city cool in the summer and warmer in the winter. It often rains, especially during late summer and early autumn.

Storm’s Landing was first established as a tent city after the final ship sailed from the Northern Kingdoms. Slowly the original city went up, keeping certain aspects of the temporary tent city. This incarnation of the city was destroyed in totality by a giant Kraken, and to this day, nearly nothing remains of the original city. After the destruction of the original city, the survivors banded together and rebuilt the city with more distinct districts. These being the slums, the farms, the middle-class district, and currently being worked on, the upper-class district.

​

[Dockside Housing]

For the sailors and merchants who call Storm’s Landing home, the dockside housing is perhaps the best place to call home. Close to the docks, and more affordable than the Farms or middle-class district, the dockside housing is preferred. Along the main street, you’ll find several shops, including the saddle’s salesman and the cobble vendor. Along the wharf, you’ll find ships that will take you to almost any port you wish. Across from the docks you’ll find the carriages that will take you where the ships do not.

[The Black Market]
