The Docks of the Zenbi Tribe. It is enormous, spanning over a mile in width, and can easily dock over two hundred vessles at once. Each dock has a man to whom you must give your name, the name of your vessel, where you are from, and the reason for what you are doing here, before you can enter into the city. Seagulls fly and land almost everywhere you look, and the sounds of grunting, hawling, cutting, hammering, and other noises you expect from docks, reverberate through the air as they are repeated all down the mile of docks.
The outside of the dock, about a mile out, is protected from invaders by six towers, each manned with a hundred archers, catapults, and balista. The tops of each tower holds a roost for Thunderbirds, enormous birds large enough to ride on, and who can control the element of lightning as they choose. Each tower can hold twenty Thunderbirds, and no one can control them save those who have trained for it in the Zenbi Tribe. They cannot be controlled by magic in any way.
At night, fires are lit on the docks in order to hinder spies, thieves, and assassins from moving in the night. Anything hostile crossing the border that the Towers represent are immediately known to the Shuhan. A magic unknown pinpoints their location to the Shuhan, too.
