| Porters Bar stands to the west of the Caranto river delta. For some reason the main flow of the river comes down the west-side of the delta and separates the city from the swampy hinterlands beyond. In the past the channel did not connect cleanly with the ocean but turned along the coast and then emptied back into the swamp again. In those days porters were required to carry goods across the land bar - hence the city gets its name. Since then, things have moved on. Under the auspices of Regimar III a canal was cut giving direct access to the main channel, and sailing barges now reach the river to carry goods upstream to Baraduum.. Life isn’t quite that simple, of course, the people from Porters Bar must employ a squad of men to continually maintain the canal, run the locks and to patrol the main delta channel to ensure that reeds don’t encroach and stop trade. | Porters Bar stands to the west of the Caranto river delta.
