He that the deep waters near the shoreline was perfect for large vessels and that the general location would make a perfect waypoint between the two cities . Flowdys created the first docks at Northpoint and eventually named the city after it . After building the docks , Flowdys came up with the idea to build a small walled keep and a warehouse on the Dore Elard heights east of the docks . Sometime later , Flowdys ' little hamlet was bustling with people and Flowdys ' changed his last name to Dorell , after Dore Elard . House Dorell took an interest in investing in ports and surrounding lands . They eventually leased plots of land to local farms and found a new source of income in Northpoint .
