### Description

Seashell is a pirate-haven build on an enormous living sea clam called “Seay”. While Seay can move and can submerge it does this rarely and only under the command of its owner Ungo who sees it as a pet. If Seay submerges, the cheaper and more fragile houses get washed away, while more expensive, sturdier or better protected building can survive.

#### Outer Town

The Outer Town is the part of Seashell build on the surface. Here cheap houses are built by the people who will live in them, many of them not builders by trade. Outer Town in many ways is the slums of Seashell. Violence is common and pirate fleets, renegades, companies, guilds and criminal gangs clash daily to control some part of Outer Town.

Houses here range from tents and improvised shacks to more solid houses covered in the same material as Seay's shell with older houses having thicker walls than the newer ones. The thicker the walls, the more like they are to survive a diving of Seay. At the edge of the outer town are the docks, some eight enormous needle-like protrusions of the shell serve as docking areas for ships. The docks and the immediate surroundings are some of the most sought after territory and are usually owned and controlled by a particularly powerful and wealthy pirate fleets who charge hefty docking fees for docking rights.

#### Shell Town

The Shell Town is inlayed into the shell of the sea clam itself, though some towers of the shell town may pierce to surface and reach even over the outer town. Buildings in the Shell town are clean cut and intricately build and are almost guaranteed to survive a diving of Seay. The town itself, unlike the outer town is accessible without magic if Seay is submerged. Of course, these advantages come at a greatly increased cost. Most of the inhabitants of the Shell Town are wealthy pearl traders, pearl carvers or pirates captains.

Shell Town is usually much safer and less violent than Outer Town. Only the most powerful pirate fleet and guilds hold territory here. Though during larger pirate conflicts, even Shell Town can become a battlefield.

#### Ungo's Shack

Ungo's Shack is the home of Seay’s owner Ungo. He used to be friends with the grand mage Borokus Nurmianus and were on a hunt for this enormous sea clam. Something happened though and Borokus returned to Pomariames changed and some said broken. He soon disappeared in his town and was never seen again. Ungo had somehow tamed the sea clam and named it Seay. Over time a settlement began to develop on the shell and Ungo rarely exerted control. His house is famously a very simple shack he is almost never seen outside it and deeper than any other building. It is built on the only access to Seay’s mouth were a giant pear rest. Ungo takes care of Seay and has somehow developed a connection with it, being able to communicate with it. He sells the nacre seay produces to make a profit. Seay’s nacre as it is known is a valuable resource on seashell and a luxury good all over Ferra.
