Ticaretto

The city of Ticaretto is a major trading hub of the Calamaran Empire, being one of the only viable harbours connecting the West and the East of the Empire. As such it is highly defended, and fabulously wealthy. In fact, the isle is so prosperous that it is one of the few places in Calamar where the merchant class wield more influence and power than the Military or the Priesthood. Emperor Ramazan I had to introduce increased taxes on the island to prevent it getting out of control.
The Isle it sits upon is also called Ticaretto, though this is a Calamarisation of the islands original name, Ti'Kar. The Ti'Kar natives, who are a part of the Kanemoku ethnic group, still exist on the island, hidden in its forests and caves, and frequently attempt to raid the city, to varying degrees of success.
The emblem of Ticaretto is a golden key, held by the a squid's tentacle. This represents how the island is the "Key" to the Shattered Sea, and is currently wielded by the Calamaran Empire.
