Port City of Pelious


My Visit

I could not believe my eyes the first time I into Pelious port. This time I felt more prepared but it still took my breath away. The vast port can be a haven for smugglers... if you play your card right. Lost among the crowd, a dream for someone who doesn't want to be seen. However, the city has a strong naval history and a pirate may also find trouble very easily.

On my previous visit I didn't spend time in the city but I needed supplies before departing. You need to push forward beyond the docks to really value what the city has to offer. It would be easy to get lost there, the winding streets and narrow alleys seemed a perfect place to get nabbed if one didn't have their guard up. Thankfully I was ready if anyone dared challenge me. I managed to trade some... belongings for a few coin and proceeded to the centre.

At the heart of the city, it really was beautiful. The finest structures and a beacon of Braitheld's success. I was advised that royal blood held control in Pelious and to be wary of saying the wrong thing to the wrong person. I was especially cautious of crossing a Paladin of Aloysia.. my kind were not too welcome in their eyes. I was better off keeping my head down.. and what better place than to seek refuge.. The Salty Wench.
