Editing Setting:Unified Setting/Everoc (section)

===Nodrak===
The northeastern coast of Everoc is home to a number of bustling ports where ships from every nation of the world gather to trade their wares for the products of dwarven mining and industry. Trade and port management are considered unworthy pursuits by most dwarves as it involves the endless shuffling of paper with no tangible product at the end. The other races were more than eager to take over the task and four freeports were given charters to operate on dwarven soil.

The ports are busy, industrial settings, filled with an ever moving background of cargoes, languages and races from every corner of the earth. While each port is open to all races (including a growing number of dwarfs who find trade and logistics an interesting challenge) each port is dominated by the race that received the original charter from the Lordships. Each freeport's adherence to their loose charters is monitored by a dwarven portmaster appointed by the Lordships. They act less as administrators than as judges, handing down decrees when the locals can't get along and solve their own problems. Since their power extends up to revocation of the charter itself, a portmaster's decisions are almost never challenged or questioned. From west to east they are:

====New Eibaumplatz====
New Eibaumplatz was the first freeport, established after some forgotten border skirmish. It is run by the elves, and is built on the ashes of Old Eibaumplatz, which was an elvish outpost established back in the Age of the Three Empires. Sadly, it is now a bit of a backwater compared to other towns.
====Orzfandrecht====
The largest goblin city outside their home isles. It is a holdover from their earlier empire, and was declared a freeport only a few years after New Eibaumplatz. It is built much in the style of the cities in the [[Sundered Isles]], but with non-goblin traders to fleece, it has established facilities second-to-none.
====Langstrand====
A freeport chartered by the Drow Republic, control is contested by scheming Houses. Langstrand has a reputation for unsavory ships and cargo. They say just about anything can be bought there, for the right price.
====Engelhafen====
Engelhafen is the newest freeport, chartered by human explorers and approaching its 150th anniversary.
