Shadelport If you have not seen my big fat PDF is a city colonised by pirates on the ruins of a previous port used by the prehuman monster empire as a global slave port. 800 year later the city is a maritime and trade power located in the middle of the great sea. The people there enjoy many new advanced methods of sea navigation, printing and black powder weapons enjoyed by the most advanced peoples of the world.

Has various labs in basements and upper floors with the life forms he creates then sells or dumps in the sewer. He offers to augment humans into abhuman beastfolk with a few months of agonising surgery.

Lots of rich knights and paladins come here and some get a lot of low fees but a quest for the cult. Priests here are rotated and you never see the same ones twice.
