Keswen

Keswen, also known as Port Keswen, is a town within the kingdom of Sen Shaeras. 
==Location Overview==
Keswen is a small port town in the northern reaches of Sen Shaeras. Unlike other nearby ports, Keswen is not easily accessible due to the jagged, dangerous reefs all along its shores, with the narrow Keswen Channel as the only safe path to the sea.
===Lore===
Keswen was founded three centuries ago by a group of sailors who were shipwrecked nearby. Some legends claim these sailors intermarried with a nomadic group that made their home there in the spring and summer, while others claim the population was supplemented over time by the crews of other ill-fated vessels. Regardless of belief, Keswen has an unusually diverse population, home to a number of races that are not commonly found within hundreds of miles. 
Keswen maintains a fairly substantial pearl trade, which sustains it economically during times when fishing cannot. Around a decade ago, they suffered a catastrophic toxic algal bloom that crippled their fishing industry and left many families destitute. 
===Culture===
Family groups in Keswen are typically quite large, with multiple generations often living under the same roof. Marriages with less than three partners are rare; this is thought to be a holdover from Keswen's maritime roots, as it takes at least three people to man a fishing vessel.
===Politics===
The current mayor of Keswen is Melri Sha, an elderly sea elf who took over after the previous mayor was ousted for corruption. She is one of the oldest members of the community and much beloved by the locals, but her gruff demeanor has been known to cause conflict with other political leaders. 
===Religion===
Most people of Keswen worship Cyreline along with her Exarch, Sister Salt, and her Anarch, Captain Sadin. Cyreline has a small temple in the town square, while both Sister Salt and Captain Sadin have their own dedicated shrines by the docks. Some view Cyreline as a wild and unpredictable force of nature, known for vacillating between serenity and fury, while others view her as an even-tempered guardian of the seas. 
Sister Salt represents the more playful aspects of the water, and many believe her to have a special connection with both aquatic animals and sea-dwelling humanoid races. She is usually depicted as an adolescent triton with long, leafy hair and a seahorse serving as her steed. 
Captain Sadin was once a mortal sea captain and cleric to Cyreline, but became a legend after he offered Cyreline his life to save the cabin boy when their ship was sinking. He is believed to watch over sailors and their kin.
