⚰︎ Port St. Eldridge
Prologue
In the world of [REDACTED], there is a country named Kempelen.
Port St. Eldridge was founded in 1766 and became a fishing
and shipping port town, with its own smaller naval base and
fortress upon the highest hill. Due to not holding any rare resources,
it continued holding a low profile to all the other rising nations around it.
The little country created many trade agreements with any, more powerful,
nation that it could, offering passage and use of its ports without
confrontation, and at very reasonable rates.
Because of this, it became a neutral business partner by most and continued holding the low profile.
The town held secrets, and locals were known to keep their mouths shut
to any outsiders that came into their ports, about these secrets.
These secrets consisted of rumors of seeing spirits past
daylight hours, walking the streets, and coming off and onto boats.
These spirits are believed to be sailors, but as
time continued and became closer to modern time,
the spirits became homed and housed in the town and even becoming local news.
So, as Port St. Eldridge carried on into the modern day, they
continued maintaining its relevance by acting as an in-between
port for ships offloading or stocking up cargo, and stopping for supplies.
When automation and factories inevitably changed the job market,
Port St. Eldridge adapted, forming a well accredited university to
keep up with the times and attract more residents to generate more revenue.
These adaptations did not prevent the spirits from disappearing,
and the locals became more loose-lipped with the modern day media.
Still, the locals attempt to debunk any rumors
to outsiders and keep all truths to themselves.
