Description - Describe Port Vepst.

This town is both a haven and a hellhole depending on who you are and what you want. The members of the port authority report to the Queens administrator, but they have their own agendas as well. Some are after enough money to move to the Nebrth Bay and have an "easier" life. Others want power in the Cauldron believing that the Queen will bring them all a better life. Some are pirate sympathizers who just enjoy the show.

Pirates, smugglers, and plenty of other folk can get by without papers nor inspection if you know whose purses to pad with coin. Some of the port authority are diligent and dutiful, while others are slimy weasels who take whatever sort of bribes and bonuses they can get. Joining the port authority is a matter of who you know, and who will sponsor your membership. Sometimes it is earned, other times paid for, and other times stolen or beaten out of someone. Power shrinks and expands rapidly here, and local politics are a nonsensical web of children all reaching in front of each other to grab at something different.

The Queen would like the port to be cleaned up, but there is too strong of a pirate community in and around The Teeth for her to deal with using force, seeing as how she doesn't have the lumber to build herself a navy, nor the coin to purchase them from another kingdom. For now, she attempts to enforce her laws, but struggles to expand both north and south.
