The city serves as a vital maritime hub, acting as the most viable stopover for long-distance traders navigating the cross-Gryth trade lanes. Most voyages travelling between Auken and Iros, Auken and Ganath, Auken and Q'Shar, or connecting Northern Iros to either Ganath or Q'Shar, inevitably pass through its waters. While the town itself is of modest importance, its sprawling and sophisticated dock system is legendary, serving as the primary focus of conversation whenever Starpoint is mentioned. ​The city has accumulated immense wealth over the decades, largely due to its unparalleled strategic location, but its most noteworthy asset is its exclusive connection to the elven subcontinent. Starpoint holds the only standing trading treaty with High Vel'Nora, maintaining a direct link to the elven port town of Lothtorin. This unique arrangement allows a limited but highly valuable flow of elven craft and produce into the city's markets. This monopoly on elven goods has dramatically compounded the local economic situation, elevating Starpoint’s wealth and status far above its neighbours in the Pannar States. ​The docks are also home to a monumental arcane power source known as the Fourth Star. This artefact of extreme power is utilized to empower magical items and has granted the town an important heritage amongst the most prestigious magical societies of Gryth. Because of the Fourth Star, institutions such as the Legendarium and Belmont University view Starpoint as a site of immense academic and practical significance. ​Furthermore, Starpoint serves as a unique cultural bridge; the great houses of both Sun and Moon High Elves maintain permanent housing and trading offices here. Consequently, outside of the restricted borders of High Vel'Nora, Starpoint typically boasts the highest concentration of High Elves in the known world. Despite its riches, the city remains a place of two faces: the glittering, high-stakes commerce of the docks and the unassuming, functional town that supports it. To the sailors of the southern oceans, it is a beacon of luxury; to the elves, it is the solitary, trusted gateway to the wider world. ![[0_2_3.jpeg]] ![[0_1_2.jpeg]] ![[0_0_7.jpeg]]
