Seagate

Seagate is the 3rd most populous city in Therent. Know for its important port, the land nearby is fertile and well-populated. Seagate trades often with Pact, its almost sister city, which has mines nearby, whereas Seagate exports food and livestock.

Its name comes from a natural harbor where two points extend into the sea and into the air, creating a bridge under which ships can pass, giving the appearance of a gate to the sea.
