Port Canis

### **Creation**

When the first wave of colonists arrived, they set to work establishing a camp in the lower land of the plateau. After many hard days of deforesting the land above them, they were able to being to build Port Canis.

From the very start, the town was meticulously planned with the colonists striving to build a beautiful, but also powerful settlement.

### **Location**

Port Canis is located on an island bearing the same name, in the very eastern parts of the **Sea Of Wolves**.

### **Appearance**

The inner city had been planned meticulously by the settlers there and any major deviations from the main plan were quickly brought into a style more tolerable to the inhabitants. This harsh, yet disciplined approach meant that the inner town was often remarked at for its beauty and craftsmanship. The buildings were mostly timber-framed, with strong stone bases. A number of older buildings, such as Jorma's Smithy and Blinski's Toyshop, were more unique in their stylistic choices.

The outer town was where a lot of housing and small-scale farms could be found. The houses here were mostly wooden, with thatched rooves.

### **Leadership**

As with the Caldanian Empire, the leadership of the settlement is split up between the **Consilium Mercator** and the **Officium Defensionem Commercia** organisations. The higher ranking members of the Consilium Mercator manage the day-to-day running of the town, including imports/exports, construction and otherwise.

The Officium Defensionem Commercia members handle the military side of things, with the highest ranking members overseeing the defence of the entire island, along with any outposts that are under Port Canis' control.

The leaders listed below are done so in chronological order, with their highest ranks achieved whilst in office in Port Canis.
