Shoremond is a bustling port city situated on the coast of the Greenfield barony. It serves as a major trade hub for the region, and ships from all over the world dock at its port to import and export various goods. The city's economy is largely dependent on trade, and its citizens are proud of their bustling marketplace, which is always full of merchants and traders from all over the world.
Despite its prosperity, Shoremond was plagued by criminal activity for many years. The Port Butchers gang, a group of ruthless criminals who came into power over the city after the majority of the city soldiers were sent out and never returned, and the gang regularly extorted money from merchants and travelers passing through the port. The gang was known for its brutal tactics, and they were feared by many of the city's residents. The situation continued for years until a group of adventurers arrived in the city and took it upon themselves to deal with the problem. They tracked down the leader of the Port Butchers, Ryman the Shark, and had him killed. With their leader gone, the Port Butchers were mostly disbanded and the city was finally able to return to order.
Since the downfall of the Port Butchers, Shoremond has thrived. The city has attracted more merchants and traders than ever before, and its port is always bustling with activity. The citizens are grateful to the adventurers who rid them of the criminal gang. Under the leadership of Lord James Holmes, the city has continued to prosper. He has used the wealth generated by trade to fund a new city guard to protect the citizens, and the people of Shoremond feel safer than ever before. The city has also invested heavily in infrastructure, building new roads and homes.
