The City of Luskan

The City of Sails is a dangerous place, a port city filled with pirates and bloodthirsty thugs. It straddles the mouth of the icy river Mirar and stands as the gateway to teh mienrla wealth of Mirabar.
Luskan is ostensibly ruled by five high captains; Taerl, Baram, Kurih, Suljack, and Rethnor. However, it is suspected that the real power in Luskan is wielded by the Arcane Brotherhood from their island tower.
The searfaring merchans of Luskan have always been fierce, proud, and warlike. Over their long history they have feuded with the inland city of Mirabar, the coastal city of Neverwinter, and the island relam fo Ruathym. Even today they sponsor pirates who prey on ships and ports up and down the Sword Coast. They also trade with Amn, Calimshan, and many other towns that prefer not to be associated with them, but will meet them on the netural ground of offshore Mintam.
The Mirar River divides the city into two major paths. The northern section is a walled enclave, consisting almost entirely of warehouses. The southern half of the city is much older. Outlying walled caravan compunds surorund this heavily fortifid section of the city.
There are three bridge that connect the two halves of the city. They are the Harbor Cross, Dalath's Span, adn the Upstream Span. Five major island crowd the mouth of the Mirar, and the three closes to the south bank are developed. The major areas within Luskan are the Captains' Close, the Harbor District, the Mirabar District, the Reach, and the Spans.
