Crystal Bay

Crystal Bay has grown from a humble village into a small but troubled town. It may not be a major player in global mercantile activities, but food, timber, crafted goods, and gunpowder are common export commodities. Situated on the other side of Ressitas from the capital, Sugarloaf, Crystal Bay has become a waystation for farmers and hunters from the interior. They off-load their goods to small skiffs and sloops who then take it around the island.
Crystal Bay suffers from frequent pirate raids, the latest of which was made last year by Francis Lefevre, who stole the vast majority of their goods and reduced the population by a third. The town is slowly recovering from Lefevre’s bloody raid, which left the town in ruins. The buccaneer may be gone but the locals know it is only a matter of time before more pirates arrive to disturb their peace. Burnt-out buildings and the recently dug cemetery are a constant reminder of the fate awaiting locals who try to deal with pirates.
Because of Lefevre’s cruelty, the people hate pirates or anyone has the illusion of being one. Visitors are treated suspiciously.
Crystal Bay’s harbor is too shallow for anything but sloops or schooners, forcing bigger ships to anchor offshore and ferry cargo by longboat. Although this deters some captains from trading here, rich rewards await captains willing to spend an extra day or two transferring cargo.
Notable sites in Crystal Bay include Durante's Brewery and the Harbor Exchange.
