  1. Port Astartes Proper
  2. Small island, and like many standalone islands on Sikorrak, there's a central, long-dead volcanic mountain surrounded by plant life and beach
  3. There is the titular "Port Astartes," which is where most of the trade happens, but all around the island are mollusk farms
    1. All along the beach are what look like submerged piers jutting out into the water
    1. There are several varieties based on who made them
    2. Some are circular, some are completely submerged with buoys floating on top
  4. Tree farms are somewhat common, with large, angular patches of trees jutting off the mountain
  5. Locations
  6. The Busted Gull
    1. A small pub by the main port that has opened up into the surrounding street, and the knock-down warehouse that was next door.
    1. The pub-proper is reserved for well-appointed guests, the street for average, and the warehouse for dockworkers/marshland elves.

2. They serve oysters, clams, mussels, and pig and chicken
2. Mollusking Piers 1-8
1. Palm-wood piers that stretch out from the main island with various nets, cages, and artificial reefs for farming mollusks
3. The Docks
1. The main place to dock ships.
1. A few high-appointed ships have taken up all the space, and the smaller local vessels have had to resort to the mollusking piers, and other visiting ships (that aren't carrying cargo) have had to dock at sea.
4. The Shore-Camp
1. A growing tent encampment that is encroaching on the Sontira's land.
1. The gnomes and dwarves don't care or don’t have the bandwidth to manage it, and the elves are growing more and more restless.
