The Kingdom's major northern port and
the home of the Royal Navy,
the staunch city of l'Anguille is built on the site of the ancient
Elven Old World colony of Tor Alessi, of which nothing now remains
except for its famous lighthouse of black stone.
Though overshadowed by its close neighbour and longtime rival
Marienburg, L'Anguille remains a vibrant
port, where goods from Norsca,
Albion and
even the New world are traded. The L'Anguillois have a strong
reputation as entrepreneurs and as fine sailors, skills that lend
themselves as easily to service in the navy or life as a legitimate
merchant captain as they do to being a privateer or smuggler, and the
city's favourite sons tend to cross these boundaries rather easily. Woe
betide anyone, however, who suggests that they are pirates or thieves.
The L'Anguillois pride themselves on being a cut above the sort of scum
you'd find in Brionne.
