Terrain & Climate

The entire western border of Porter is
long, sandy beaches. Port cities
sprawl throughout the many bays that
interrupt the stretching beaches.
Howling winds in every winter have
created great dunes behind the beaches
that serve to protect towns from the
elements. Farther inland, Porter is
blessed with great hills and
mountains. Its position between these
natural barriers provides Porter with
good defense from hostile neighbors.

Populace

The population of Porter varies
greatly due to immigration booms and
recent plagues. The population
currently hovers around 170,000 with
an estimated 2,000 unregistered
transients in any given month. The
transients are mostly foreign
tradesmen and travelers who may or may
not take up permanent residence in
Porter.

Traders from all over New Pangaea sail
into these ports bringing goods,
immigrants, and everything else that
makes Porter such a culturally diverse
nation. Several devastating plagues
from the past had taken a toll on the
population, both physically and
socially, from which Porter is still
recovering. While the economy and
population seem to be near normalcy,
traces of the racist hysteria
following the plagues are still
evident. Many ethnic groups are
subconsciously more comfortable in
neighborhoods consisting of their own
people and while there are no
segregation policies in law, there
still exists some feelings of mistrust
in some natives to the traders and
immigrants that visit the ports daily.
These issues seem to become less
prevalent the farther inland one
travels into Porter.

Note from Ben

Porter was named after a Labrador who
literally ate holes in walls.
