Porthaven--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Two hundred years ago, the coastal town of Porthaven was built on a site that was advantageous for trade but both geologically and meteorologically unstable. A volcano in the nearby mountains threatened to erupt and destroy the town, and earthquakes, tidal waves, and hurricanes were common. But the doughty townsfolk stayed and rebuilt after each disaster, determined to make the town prosper. Via the magic of Khyber Mercane, the harsh windstorms that had previously blown through the valley softened to mild breezes, and the high waves that had battered the shoreline shrank to harmless ripples before reaching the coast. The earthquakes that were once common occurrences no longer shook the land. Even the seasons seemed to even out until the temperatures rarely reached uncomfortable extremes.The crews of ships now find the calm waters and friendly people of the city a welcome sight, as do many weary travelers along the coast.PORTHAVENThe city of Porthaven has now enjoyed two years of peace, perfect weather, and is now considered one of the fastest growing city in the land.Ruler Khyber Mercane, human sorcerer 6(mayor) Autho: Bergan Regal, human aristocrat 5AL LG; Assets 200,000 gp, 4 warships, 1 large water elementalPopulation 150,000approx ; Mixed (118500 humans, 13500 halflings, 7500 dwarves, 4500 elves, 3000 gnomes, 1500 half-elves, 1400 halforcs 10 drow); Size: 1.4 square miles, or 946 acres.Others: adept 2 (200), adept 1 (700), aristocrat 4 (2), aristocrat 3 (8), aristocrat 2 (20), aristocrat 1 (70), barbarian 5 (1), barbarian 3 (80), barbarian 2 (120), barbarian 1 (400), bard 13 (1), bard 12 (2), bard 6 (60), bard 3 (1), bard 1 (480), cleric 3 (4), cleric 2 (160), cleric 1 (340), commoner 4 (40), commoner 2 (240), commoner 1 (137,510), druid 5 (1), druid 3 (10), druid 2 (50), druid 1 (100), expert 2 (240), expert 1 (6420), fighter 2 (240), fighter 1 (600), monk 3 (8), monk 2 (200), monk 1 (400), paladin 6 (1), paladin 3 (120), paladin 2 (240), paladin 1 (480), ranger 2 (10), ranger 1 (30), rogue 5 (20), rogue 4 (40), rogue 3 (40), rogue 2 (200), rogue 1 (400), sorcerer 3 (1), sorcerer 2 (240), sorcerer 1 (480), warrior 1 (3040), wizard 3 (120), wizard 2 (240), wizard 1 (480).

There are a couple of other posts about Mem setting out schedules and giving direct orders for rotations of militia and the like. It was quite tedious work and she wasn't sleeping tryin' to keep up. Also there was a post about the obscene amount of torches and other fires lit she ordered lit in and about the Citadel/Prison Grounds/Arena hearth/Barracks of the Companionship.
