## Description

The City of Calt is a seaside community and port for Avandra. While not as grand and boisterous as Douglas, Calt does play host to The Royal Navy of Avandra. Calt is also known for its vibrant, night-time bazaar called the "Csirellian Trade Faire", which draws in travellers far and wide for its variety of foods, and artisanal goods imported from all over Vitore. Calt has a communal leadership made up of various shop owners and shipwrights.

## Key Locations

### The Royal Navy Docks and Shipyard

A magnificent set of mahogany docks that houses The Royal Navy of Avandra. With over 40 ships in their Navy they are a force to be reckoned with on the seas. Compared to the rest of the city it is exceptionally rowdy, rambunctious, and particularly dangerous. In the words of Retsnimel, the Royal Navy Docks are a "riotous, nigh-perpetual brawl that sprawls across the coast, interrupted only by small buildings, intermittent trade houses, an errant dog or two, and a few brave watchguards, who manage to keep the chaos from spreading beyond the docks; the whole lot wallowing in the stench of rum and fish."

### The Dragon Roost Inn

The Dragon Roos Inn stands three stories tall. It is a rather poorly built establishment that looks ugly on the outside, with many of the walls being boarded over or displaying burn scars. Originally, I presume its bottom floor was fieldstone with windows and its top floor was wooden, but over the years bar brawls must have damaged the establishment and facilitated hasty repairs with the now iconic mismatched materials. The interior of this tavern is equally as battered as its exterior. It is rather ill-lit, having very few candles, and tables were crowded close together. This tavern is situated on the eastern corner of the cramped intersection of Cod Street and Cove Trail, across from the Volt's Travel Goods. The Dragon Roost Inn is run by a Silver Dragonborn named Umut and he is extremely popular with the local sailors and fishermen and is much beloved for the cheap ale and bottomless chowder he provides as well as the sarcastic commentary. The Dragon Roost Inn is the spitting image of a stereotypical sailors' bar, with dirty halls quite noisome from frequent drunken brawls and bawdy songs. The air is thick with the smell of stale beer, sour wine, sweat, and tar.

### Retsnimel's Enchantments

Retsnimel's Enchantments is a tall, round building that is easily recognizable amid its surroundings. Its domed roof appears as if it is made entirely of multi-colored stained glass. While it is actually supported by stone archways, this is indiscernible from the exterior. When light enters through the roof it shines through the inside of the shop as a rainbow. The ground floor of the shop, the only area in which patrons are permitted, is decorated with opulent furniture, rugs and silk curtains. Many of these are inscribed with arcane symbols that, according to the Retsnimel's Enchantments sign, offers protection to its patrons. Retsnimel, the propreitor of this establisment is an old man with a gray beard, hooked nose, gruff voice, and weathered features but with alert eyes. His clothes are plain. He is rarely without his meerschaum pipe, usually smoking a vile blue or green smoke.

### Volt's Travel Goods

Volt's Travel Goods is a adventuring goods store run by retired adventurer Volt Castellan. The Blue Kobold does not take shit from anyone and will murder thieves in his shop and be happy to do so. Just a heads up. The shop is well known for its great selection of ropes and most Avandrians come here for their rope needs. Additionally, just about any piece of adventuring equipment can be found within the shop's crammed confines or cellar.

### Gaseous Pete's Fish and Chips

Gaseous Pete runs the best Food Wagon you will have ever been to! He and his buisness partner, a small dragon-like creature named Xerra, cook right out of their wagon and sell to the sailors coming in from The Csirellian Sea. At Gaseous Pete's you can get a basket of Fish and Chips and a Sour Apple Cider for 6cp.

### Prieden Harborhouse

Prieden Harborhouse is an auction house where goods imported from around Vitore can be auctioned to buyers from the Western portion of Chrysanthia. It is on the surface just a warehouse where goods can be stored but The Coins of The Swindler have since made it into an import buisness for would be traders.
