[QUOTE="AFGNCAAP, post: 3283763, member: 871"] [B]Gilport[/B] Think of it as the Greyhawk City/Lankhmar/Waterdeep/Sharn/etc. of the setting. A metropolis consisting of anything & anyone because that's where the money is. [I]Gilport[/I] is the mutation of the city's name from the original version, "Gilded Port." The city grew to great prominence not only due to its strategic location as a trade route, but the sheer luck of it being next to one of the most lucrative veins of gold in the world. The major trade, as well as the gold being pulled out of the adjacent mountains, made Gilport [I]the[/I] place to be. Gilport could serve as a capital city as well as a metropolis, but then again, Gilport also could work as an independent city-state rather than as part of a larger nation (the wealth & trade could give it the power to do so). And, because of this power & wealth, it's the target of countless schemes of conquest. [/QUOTE]
