Bilgewater Harbor

Bilgewater is a lawless port city built into the cliffs of the Serpent Isles. Its sprawl is a chaotic network of docks, bridges, and boardwalks that lash the settlement together above the water, and it serves as a haven for pirates, smugglers, bounty hunters, and anyone seeking to live beyond the reach of the law. No single authority governs the port. Power shifts constantly between rival captains, and control is settled through bloody politics rather than any formal rule. Gangplank and Miss Fortune stand as its most notorious figures, and Twisted Fate is among the outlaws tied to the city. Bilgewater's history turns on the reign of Gangplank as its pirate king and the uprising led against him by Miss Fortune, a struggle bound up in the wider conflict remembered as the Burning Tides. Through every shift in fortune the harbor remains inhabited, its authority always passing to whoever can seize and hold it.
