Port Calante

There are many cities, both foul and fair that hunker upon the Cerulean sea. Some are old, some are new, some are squalid and some are fare. Yet, none compare to the splendor and liesure of Port Calante. Speak all you wish of profit and commerce, or importance and politics. You can have the lot.

The Alabaster Port on the Ever Blue Sea

There are places that are beautiful, there are places that are heavenly, and there is Port Calante. There are few places in the world that can match the simple visual appeal of the port. Its aesthetic is simple, Cerulean coast style architecture that favors open buildings, large windows, and not a whisp of thought given to defences or such trivialities of warfare and strife. The only structure that vaguely resembles a stronghold is the lone tower near the mouth of Calante's harbourage, and it is flimsy as far as such towers go.

The Calante Attitude

The mixture of agreable climate and lack of conflict has created a certain ethnic apathy towards matters of politics, religion, and the sort. so long as the matter at hand doesnt affect the Port, it is really of no concern. Even when matters do affect the port and its inhabitants, there is a cultural inertia to overcome, so only the most serious and dire of matters are able to rouse the local folk.
