Campaign Setting
Carrowsport
Carrowsport is the capital city of the duchy of Carras in the kingdom on Salinar. Carrowsport is a coastal city and the primary port for the duchy. The Duchy has been ruled by Duke Jomed for the past 23 years following the Salinar Shadow War, where Jomed was an adventurer who assisted Oewyn Veymoth (now King Oewyn I) to dethrone Carinth Bluelash.
The duchy of Carras is primarily a human settlement, outside of Carrowsport, non-humans are less trusted by the general population, and see a fair amount of discrimination and abuse. Additionally, due to the involvement in necromancers during the Bluelash dynasty, obvious demonstrators of magic are decried as witches and warlocks and seen as working with evil demonic forces.
In the city of Carrowsport, Duke Jomed has begun to change that attitude and atmosphere. Carrowsport is the most accepting when it comes to other races. Elves, Dwarves, and Halflings are commonplace in the city, and even Half-Orcs, Minotaurs, and Gnomes can be found as members of visiting merchant crews as well as the seedier districts in the city. That being said, it is not typical for multi-generations of non-humans having lived in the city.
As for magic, there still is a general fear of necromancy in the city, but the city does have a small academy of magic with a dozen or so members. Additionally, King Jomed does employ a court wizard as his advisor, as well as his apprentices and attendants. Outside of this, magic is kept rather quiet for fear of scandal or retribution.
Under the rule of Duke Jomed, Carrowsport has a more militaristic structure to the daily life. The City Guard and Carrasian Army have flourished. Jomed was careful not to strongly disrupt the noble families, trading companies or black market of their activities prior to the Salinar Shadow War, and him taking over. But the increased military presence in the town is a constant reminder of Jomed’s power.
