[Location] Peda

[Steve]

A small city, perhaps better described as a village with almost 1,000 citizens including the farmers on the edge town who cultivate hemp and sisal, as well as a few food products to supplement the abuntant seafood. Peda is a coastal community with an extensive waterfront. As expected, there is a well established fishing community and a Fish Processing Plant. The main product is pickled fish. Fish filets are soaked in brine composed of vinegar, salt and spices, then rolled and placed in jars along with the brine. The product is quite tasty, nourishing and keeps quite well for more than two eras.

With the recent climate change warming the waters, a new industry developed, shrimping. The shrimp are enjoyed locally as a regular fresh staple. Additionally, the excess shrimp are salted and exported in that manner.

A local boatyard manufactures fishing boats and provides repairs. Nearby is a rope and string manufacturing facility. Here they take the sisal and hemp that that is grown just outside the city limits and make many products up to heavy mooring lines and ship fenders. Additionally, fishing nets of many sizes are made.

The City is run by a loose council of a few of the most successful fishermen. The oldest of them is designated as The Peda Elder. It is The Peda Elder who rules on local disputes and deals with Outsiders. Peda maintains Volunteer Regulators who are not quite a Militia but more of a police force. The number of Regulators is usually about 50 young men but at any given time most of them are fishing, farming or sleeping. Not much happens in Peda to require their attention. It is a peaceful community.

There is no city wall, nothing resembling a fortification and not even a Gaol.
