Wilmington

Wilmington is an island city-state off the coast of Pogol, and is a member of the Lanista League.
== Founding ==
Many of the Harkoma who were banished from their people made homes on Wilmington. However, unlike those who ventured inland, the people led by Jakob Yarnhorst settled back into the seafaring lifestyle. They used the island as a treasure hoard and turned to piracy – pillaging villages on the Western and Eastern coasts.
After a decade of this, the Duchess Salem of Sliabh grew angry, and sent the hero Thomas Wilmington to lead her forces to destroy the Yarnhorst Pirates. This occurred during the one year voyage, and Thomas Wilmington eventually killed or imprisoned all the major pirating lieutenants, as well as Jakob Yarnhorst himself. As a reward, Thomas Wilmington was granted their island as a fiefdom, which is known today as Wilmington
It is wholly autonomous today, acting as a vital member of the Lanista League of Nations with their strong naval power.
== Economy ==
Wilmington's economy is not as grounded in trade as it is in Pogol. Although trade with Harkoma and Hollen keeps them afloat financially, their main source of income stems from a large naval academy, as well as both an enormous shipyard (used to build and repair vessels) and taxes collected off of ship repairs and merchants entering the League's waters.
== Religion ==
As much nautical trade passes through into Pogol, many easterners find temples to not only The Míshásta Pantheon, but also Kite and Ikait. Wilmington itself has no established faith amongst the members of the league, but show respect to the others' worship of the Pantheon all the same.
== Food ==
Being an island nation, Wilmington is quite famous for its seafood. Arrowtail Perch is a staple of many of the people living on the island. Wilmington is most famous for its traditional dish "Voyager's Delight" where a fish is cooked in a unique method supposedly originating from the pirates that lived on the island prior to Thomas Wilmington's arrival.
