-Porter's Bar is an [[http://baileymail.net/j-bailey/RolePlay/Portersbar/index.htm|old development]] that was never used.  It has too many good ideas (many of which were developed in collaboration with people at PBW and RPoL) to go to waste.  
  
  
Line 8: Line 7:
 Porter’s Bar is a small city-state on the southern tip of Telida.  The town, it is barely big enough to be called a city, sits on the edge of the swamp and cultivates the land between itself and the ring of forested mountains. Farms and small settlements dot the area, growing rice, cereals and beans as the staple crops.  Small apple orchards and berry fields complete the agricultural patchwork.  In such a compact area there is little livestock  - poultry and a few draft animals – protein in the diet comes from fish and game taken from the swamp margins. Porter’s Bar is a small city-state on the southern tip of Telida.  The town, it is barely big enough to be called a city, sits on the edge of the swamp and cultivates the land between itself and the ring of forested mountains.
