Seaton is a military port and fishing town found on the southern coast of Keoland. It is the capital of the Viscounty of Salinmoor.

Description

Seaton is a heavily fortified, drab fortress.

History

Founding

Imperial era

Recent history

Some years ago, Seaton was razed in an attack by pirates and slavers. Around one thousand refugees left for the nearby town of Saltmarsh, resulting in a period of significant growth for that settlement, which had numbered only around 2,000 in population before.[2]

Geography

Seaton is located within the Viscounty of Salinmoor, a southern province of Keoland upon the Azure Sea. It is twenty miles west along the coast to the fishing town of Saltmarsh.[3] Further along the coastline is Gradsul, a much larger and more important port city.

Seaton is south of the Dreadwood, which spans the isolates Seaton from the rest of Keoland, limiting its value as a port city and hampering its political influence in Niole Dra. It is precariously close to the Hool Marsh, inhabited by numerous lizardfolk and other dangerous creatures; and the land of the Sea Princes across the sea to the south.

Cityscape

Travel

Seaton is located on the Azure Sea, and is used as a port of transport. Travelers pass through Saltmarsh to reach Seaton by land, whereupon they can travel elsewhere by ship.[4]

Government

The governor, Duke Marik Feldren, rules over all the southern province, which includes Seaton. Marik is a sheltered hothead who wants to surpass the legacy of his brother, the war hero Obertus Feldren, who was originally appointed by King Kimbertos Skotti.

Seaton is the capital of the Viscounty of Salinmoor. As of 591 CY, the Viscounty was ruled by Viscount Cronin Secunforth, a human fighter.[6]

Military

Seaton has a large garrison of naval, infantry and cavalry units, which serve as the primary defense of the area.
