Prymp is a fairly large city on the northern coast of Ahlissa, formerly the South Province of the Great Kingdom. It is a home to a large naval fleet. The city's walls are solidly built and in good repair, but the rest of the city is a decrepit den of depravity. The city, at least under the Great Kingdom, was ruled by an military council, rather than a civilian government. [1]
History
The city existed long before Ahlissa broke off from the failing Great Kingdom after the Greyhawk Wars. It was, in fact heavily damaged by Nyrondese attacks during the Greyhawk Wars, especially early in 585 CY, when the city suffered a devastating raid, which left the scorch marks from fireballs flung by Nyrondese mages dotting the city for over a year afterward. After the raid, Admiral Llarnen, then in charge of the cities vast navy, opted to constantly keep half that navy in port for defensive purposes. At the time, the Great Kingdom controlled fleet based in Prymp consisted of 22 cogs and coasters, seven galleys and five galleons.[1]
Geography
Prymp is such a valuable port because of it's location on Relmor Bay, which feeds out into the Azure Sea on the northern coast of the Principality of Ahlissa, which is part of the greater Kingdom of Ahlissa.
Cityscape
While the walls of the city are solidly built, the rest of the city is in frequent disrepair. The most notable feature of the city, however, is the series of underground ducts that were built to carry away high tidal waters. These were them linked with a number of secret passages created by the Assassins Guild and other nefarious actors to burial vaults and a series of natural limestone caverns existing beneath the city to form the undercity, a partially-mapped mess of passages that honey-comb out beneath the city, many of which are partly or fully flooded.
