The Dregs is a pirate-smuggling port hidden along Lexovar’s trade coast, close enough to the Thalenmark border that cargo can vanish from one nation and reappear in the other before anyone finishes filing the complaint. It sits behind a stretch of ugly mudflats, half-collapsed docks, and salt-rotted fishing shacks that look too worthless to inspect.
The Dregs is rougher than Tinker’s Hideaway and much less polite. Pirate crews, black-market brokers, crooked dockmasters, and border smugglers all operate here, protected by bribes, false manifests, and a shared hatred of official attention.
Head of Port: Vix ‘Moldcoin’ Brattle
A thin, twitchy gnome with green-stained teeth, a permanently damp coat, and one cloudy glass eye that never points the same direction twice. He is unpleasant, clever, and harder to kill than mold in a cellar. Moldcoin does not command the Dregs through fear or loyalty. He survives because he knows which ships are lying, which guards are paid, and which bodies are buried under the old fish market.
