Mageport

Mageport is the world's most populous city, and a major center for trade, especially of magic items. It is also home to the world's largest magic school, the Wintermark University. It is arguably the most advanced settlement in all of Galapygos. 
==History==
Mageport was founded in 1002 OCA and at the time was a small, unnamed fishing village. In 1143, Mulcifer Wintermark decided the land nearby was perfect for constructing his new school for wizards. With the help of his senior artificers, Wintermark constructed the university in just a few days and the small village was transformed overnight. Wizards and merchants from across the south saw the potential and flocked to the site of the new university. Within just two years, the fishing village had been transformed into a bustling metropolis that continues to grow to this day. 
==Notable Features==
Arguably the most famous feature of the city is the Magic Bazaar. A huge market that stretches across much of the city's east side, millions of crowns worth of magical items, weapons, potions, and other such goods are traded here on a daily basis. Most out-of-towners describe the district as an assault on the senses: thousands of exotic scents, sights, and sounds are found all around while countless people meander through the crowded streets. 
Located near the city's center square, the Wintermark University is the crown jewel of Mageport. Each year, during an event the locals sometimes call the "apprentice's pilgramage," thousands of prospective students gather around the university to take its famously rigorous entrance examinations. 
==Demographics==
The city's population is composed of all civilized races. Humans and elves, arguably the southern races most attuned to magic, are common as they might be looking to sell their magical wares or perform research at the University. For similar reasons, goblins can be found often trying to peddle their goods.
An important note to make about the city is its relatively young age. Being only about three hundred years old, the rate at which the city has expanded to become such an important center of trade and academics is astounding. The population of the city is younger and more progressive than those in older cities such as White City. For this reason, a large population of tieflings choose to live here to avoid persecution.
