Heagate

A small tropical island, Heagate is the northernmost island in the Empire. It is unique among the island members in that it does not in and of itself produce any trade goods. Instead it is a frontier post that is known to do it’s trading with people of all kinds who come out from the unexplored territory. There are just over 200 people on the island. All are transplants from other parts of the Empire.

Life here can be tough. Sometimes the people who sail in from the unexplored territory have chosen to raid the island for what they want rather than trade. Due to this, everyone on the island is skilled in combat to a fairly high degree. There are also a number of people who have settled here who used to roam the unexplored areas. Several languages and customs are observed here. Buildings are all stone, brought in and built by the dwarves. The Imperial offices are a walled compound and can be used as a fort in times of attack.

The Imperial Navy keeps to frigates in the area at all times and can be summoned within a day to aid the island’s residents. Currently only the trading company The Circle of Jade keeps a full time presence here and is located in the only village on the island: Barakib.
