Black Bay

Demographics

 * Coastal town
 * Portside--people mostly passing through en route to Lageto or resupplying before sailing onward.
 * Pop 2,391, majority human with sea elves second most common and moon elves third most common.
 * Main export is rum from its distillery, also makes money from inns and restaurants.
 * Iris Lemalu is the half-sea-elf mayor of Black Bay. They are not particularly divisive, and keep things running. They’ve been the mayor for the better part of a decade as they are popular. The town is not necessarily thriving but they are getting by just fine. However in recent years there have been whispers that Lemalu has not been doing enough about the town’s piracy problem due to being half-sea-elf.
 * The guards are fairly lax but do checks with the captain of each incoming vessel to make sure they are not pirates in disguise. The villagers are pretty open-minded as so many diverse people travel through the town (and some of those people have settled down here).
 * The Lucias (human family from the Northern Kingdoms with some moon elf mixed in) are known for being wealthy from their rum distillery. They keep mostly to themselves, but it’s said that they have as much power as, if not more than, Mayor Lemalu. Their matriarch is named Emera Lucia. They were placed under house arrest after the events of Order in the Court.
