Arnim City of Whales

As the name suggests, Arnim is a seaborne community that makes it’s living off drifting around the Sirine Ocean hunting whales. The “city” is a collection of ships and large barges that travel together. The entire community is driven by the profits that come from the harvest of whales.

Every part of the animal is used. The skin is made into superior leather that is waterproof and by a secret method, made to minimize noise. The blubber is rendered down into whale oil, the most profitable product of the city. Whale meat is smoked, salted, canned and if the timing is right sold fresh. Bones are used for all manner of upkeep of the fleet and some is sold for medicinal and magical uses. Various ships in the fleet are production ships which in reality are floating factories. Others are living quarters and meeting areas for the Arnimians. The most important ships and boats are those used in the hunting and hauling of whales. In total there are over 90 vessels in the “city”.

The city is nomadic, but has a fairly well established travel route annually that puts them close to various types of whales each month. The people are very close and few ever chose a life away from the community. The group is made up of humans, orcs, and half-orcs. The city is ruled over by the Commodore and various captains.
