 Portsmith consists of a harbor, docks, a small keep, and a military garrison.  The harbor is protected by high, grassy cliffs which create a natural protected inlet.  Warm springs keep the harbor waters from freezing except during the most extreme weather.  North Province has a small garrison of foot and mounted soldiers at Portsmith, but a sizable fleet of warships harbor here with the mission of protecting merchant trade from the [[Sea Barons]] and others.
-The current ruler of Portsmith is Jana Blackfire, who was elected in 904 TA to replace a corrupt governor and bring order to the region.  Jana is known as the Crusader of Portsmith and her rule of law, known as the Gavel, is swift and merciless.  Order is kept through mounted patrols - called derisively the Hexmen - consisting of a cleric of the [[Order of the Silver Throne]], a paladin of the [[Order of Crusaders]] and four guards.  While order has been restored, many citizens resent Jana's iron-fisted rule.
+The current ruler of Portsmith is Nicholas Clay, who was elected in 908 TA to replace Jana Blackfire.  Blackfire and many of her paladins and clerics were killed in the Demon Raid of 907 TA.  Nicholas is a prominent citizen and a member of the [[Order of Merchant Keymasters]].  He is focused on trade and has been known to turn a blind eye towards pirates, smuggling and dark dealings.  Clay rules from a newly-established merchant center, a coffee house known as the Java Bird, replacing the previous governor's house destroyed during the demon raids.

 From 898-904 TA, Portsmith was ruled by Governor Linpool Lastra, a questionable merchant rumored to dabble in the black arts and demonology.  Under his rule, the shadier elements gained power in the town with increases in murder, robbery and kidnappings.  Linpool was killed during the [[Wolfshaunt Unleashed#Prologue|Great Storm]] of March 904 TA when he was seen at the end of the great stone pier during the height of the storm's fury.  Eyewitnesses said that he appeared to be summoning the weather, and several accounts tell of enormous octopus-shaped beasts hovering in the storm clouds - illuminated only by flashes of lightning.
-So terrifying were the stories that the local population elected Jana Blackfire, a fanatical paladin of the [[Order of Crusaders]] to governor in April 904 TA.  Nicknamed the Crusader of Portsmith, Blackfire has invoked an edict she calls "The Gavel" to bring order to the city's chaos.  In addition, a large contingency from the [[Order of the Silver Throne]] have descended on Portsmith to execute the edict.  Crime has dropped as the jails have filled.  Currently, the Sea Barons are behaving and order is slowly being restored.

 == History of Portsmith==
-Founded in the early eighth century TA, the small port quickly grew into a place for the dwarven goods from the east to be unloaded for transport along the Lesser Farthing Road.  The original village grew into a walled town, and the town grew into a small, thriving city.
+Founded in the early eighth century TA, the small port quickly grew into a place for the dwarven goods from the east to be unloaded for transport along the Lesser Farthing Road.  The original village grew into a large town.
 In 830 TA, the port was granted a title by the Crown, although the citizenry opted for an elected governor instead of a hereditary lord.  The stability of Portsmith has varied over the decades with a number of factions vying for power.  In addition to the elected government, [[The Family]] has a strong presence in the area, and it is rumored that members of the [[Dark Path]] can be found in the shadier corners of the port.  Additionally, the mercurial [[Sea Barons]] challenge the North Province warships, when the opportunity arises.  Typically, these sinister forces are balanced by the [[Order of Merchant Keymasters]] who seek to keep commerce flowing and law and order in place.  The ever-shifting power in North Province has led to some periods of great unrest.

-Portsmith is the capital of North Province, and the largest city on the Inner Sea.  The port lies along the southern coast of the Inner Sea between the dwarven lands of Balinshold to the east and the Eastern Reaches to the west.  The city was founded along the shipping trade route for ore and iron coming from the dwarven forges headed to the Reaches.
