Aranalia

Aranalia city has 41,000 (mostly Arumelian human, a few merfolk in the harbor, and a few goblin slaves from Gorgalph).Services: The port city has full facilities for servicing and provisioning merchant and war ships and their crews. The Aranalian drydocks are among the most excellent in the region for those of Arana’s international alignment.Exports: Ships and associated sailing goods sold to Arana’s merchants and allies; herring preserved and packed in barrels, sold throughout the northern Western Lands.Imports: Lumber, especially as related to shipbuilding from Erendor, iron from Karninia in Trynser. A formerly booming port city, the fall of the Arumelian Empire and the fights with its neighbors have caused Aranalia’s fortunes to decline sharply. It was this desperation that helped persuade Marquis Olennay decide to allow Erendor and Trynser to have harbor priveleges. This was a huge advantage to all three nations, as it guaranteed much needed foreign investment in Arana, and gave Erendor and Trynser a southern base at the entrance of the Southern Dragon Sea. However, the transition from Arumelian shipping port to international naval base has not been too gentle on the city. There’s usually twenty or so warships in the port at any time, each with a crew of over two hundred sailors and marines. In addition, Trynser, Erendor, and Arana each have fifty to a hundred support personell to support the squadrons. This is rounded out by a thousand Erendoran and several hundred Trynsern troops who help secure the city-state’s borders. Neither Limquist or Gorgalph see fit to test their resolve. A massive herring fishery a hundred miles down the coast to the west was reserved for the port by Arumelian Empire law. The law has been abrogated by the fall of the empire, but Arana still maintains exclusive rights to fish there based on that statute. There is some conflict with Mondrocar over this fishery, but the naval power backing Aranalia’s claim discourages Mondrocar fishing. However, goblin boats from Gorgalph are not uncommon.
