Point Perchance

Off Dunnage Harbor at dawn

The arms of Ante

**Point Perchance** or "The Point" was founded by Antean captains in 9352 AR as a re-supply base and safe harbor for ships in southeastern Yulia. Due to its relative proximity to S'lorris Cattsio and Ochoa, **Point Perhance** is more acutely aware of their ongoing war. Since the Sisters opted to remain neutral in that conflict, the Point had become somewhat of a focus of espionage between Cattsian and Ochoan agents. Con-men, pirates, and business-kith of all stripes were known to attempt to make their fortunes in the city.

While it's mother-city Ante is sometimes considered a "Pirate's Republic," it is really **Point Perchance** that lives up to that moniker.

## History

The ship captains of Ante's Thousand Flags were known to range far and wide across the oceans of Chebeth. In order to provide them with a safe harbor on the far side of Yulia, a handful decided to construct a re-supply base in the uninhabited islands of the Ochoan Archipelago.

Over time, some captains who frequently sailed on the seas to the east and south of Yulia considered Point Perchance their primary harbor and constructed warehouses and dwellings for themselves and their crews there. While they would occasionally make the trek back to Ante to partake in any official business of the Thousand Flags, these captains rarely ventured into the Wide Ocean.

## Geography

**Point Perchance** was originally constructed in a series of natural bays and grottoes on a small island in the Ochoan Archipelago. The location was hot, humid, and verdantly tropical year-round. After building the first pier and harbor buildings, the Anteans expanded the Point organically, and numerous small neighborhoods and business districts were erected over the years. The dense jungles of the island proved difficult to conquer and the Anteans were more of a sea-faring culture. Thus, most new buildings were constructed by lashing old ship hulks together and building atop of them, similar to how much of Ante proper was constructed.

## Demographics

**Point Perchance** boasted a very diverse population, possibly the most diverse of all cities associated with the Sisters.

## Government

While **Point Perchance** followed the same system of government as Ante, namely Salt Law and Sand Law, the Sandstone King in Ante had little sway here. In his stead, the more Point-based captains nominated one of their elders, a Tiefling captain known as Prince Nez as the wielder of Sand Law in the city. His authority wasn't recognized outside the limits of **Point Perchance**.

## Defense

Like it's mother-city Ante, **Point Perchance** had no standing army. Instead, Prince Nez enlisted a small for-hire security force modeled after Ante's Yeoman Corps. They primarily maintain order in the city's numerous taverns, brothels, and dockyards. Also, like Ante, **Point Perchance** yields naval security duties to the individual captains of the Thousand Flags.
