The Shore

The Shore is a relatively poor area, mostly occupied by fisherman, farm hands, and laborers. As it trails off towards the west, it transforms slowly into farmland (called “The Flats”).

History
The Shore was developed into its modern form by the efforts of Blodon College under the rule of King Grolf, approximately 200 years ago. He had faculty wizards grow an artificial reef to break waves before they reached the docks (which were then wooden), which allowed for the present stone docks to be constructed inside of a cofferdam. The docks have since been integrated into one continuous structure, with shipping yards feeding into warehouses, in front of which are set offices, storefronts, and workers' quarters.

Smuggling has always been a significant problem in The Shore, as it is the main entry point of goods into the city and its complexity and size make it difficult to patrol. As such, smuggling organizations have played a significant part in the development and politics of The Shore since the city's founding.

Demographics
The Shore is primarily populated by working class Humans. Some Elves live here, mostly occupying roles as managers or overseers of labor, but it is not considered a respectable place to live by most of the Elves of Hago. A small proportion of laborers are Dwarves, Ratfolk, Halflings, Lizardfolk, or Tieflings, but these individuals stand out in any setting besides a working dock.
