Heather's Vineyard

Anne strolled down the docks, Syl next to her laughing. Behind them, Patch jogged to keep up, and Navassa glanced around at the blue sky. Anne gestured to the red-roofed dockfront houses and the low sandbars, as men carrying crates of silk, rope, wood and spice lumbered about the port. 'Anything ye need in the world, the Vineyard'll be able to provide ya. Just keep yer nose to yourself, that's the only rule.'- Anne shows a crew round the Vineyard's docks.
Heather's Vineyard was a large port on Éla Ravenna Sankta / St. Ravenna's Isle, north of Lakay. It was initially an Emperíja fortress named Fort Vines before being abandoned in 1460. It grew into a notable haven for pirates in the late 1400s and 1500s, until it was occupied by the Emperíja. It grew into a small free community, noted for its pretty houses, gorgeous views, abundance of fish, lush jungle, golden sands, friendly culture, and expert craftsmanship. It was the largest port in the Wolcott Straits after the Empire and Mercatorium capitals (i.e. after Fort Helena-Thunderlord and Sant-Mart).
