Harbour Fort

Harbour District in Seregon

The Harbour Chain, or Phragmata, serves as a vital coastal defense and customs enforcement mechanism in Seregon. With its massive iron chain capable of blocking the harbor, it symbolizes the city's control over its waterways. The fort's strategic location and the presence of a well-disciplined Iron Guard garrison ensure that Seregon can enforce its laws and protect its interests, whether against potential invaders or smugglers trying to slip through unnoticed. The use of the chain for non-military purposes reflects the city's pragmatic approach to security and trade regulation. The Harbourmaster's Tower can signal the chain to be raised or lowered.
