[i]Belmouth[/i], also known as the [i]"Golden Delta"[/i] 
Its nickname refers to the vast wealth that flows through port on a daily basis.

Conveniently located in the geographic center of all five nations, this town serves as the primary trade hub of the Kingdom.
It is also the front line in a constantly escalating battle of financial brinkmanship. Officially each House is allowed a certain amount of military presence there; a balance necessary to minimize intimidation and theft (in theory). However, there exists a large pool of unaffiliated mercenaries in town who make a healthy living from jobs the nominally law-abiding Housemen cannot afford to be seen doing.
The racketeering culture is so pervasive, merchants can expect to be courted by dozens of shadow-buyers, and the most important sales criteria in Belmouth is the buyer's capacity to protect the merchant from reprisals.

It's a nice enough place otherwise.
