12.17.1 The Free City of Delve
Nestled on the far north-western coast of Albedos, the Port City of
Delve is the last bastion of hope for the populace of those not yet
enslaved by the Dreikathi. Its very location provides a sphere of
natural protection, and effectively has been cut off from the rest of
the continent of Albedos. Bordered on three sides by typhoon-prone
waters, the city is guarded by sea as well as protected via land by the
expanse of the Dramedo Crags to the east.
With the Dreikathi having seized up all other free cities, the Port of
Delve quickly grew into a melting pot of all the various races of
Albedos. The city itself is a sprawling assortment of various districts
ranging from the massive Docklands to the expansive Military Yards.
Delve is a bustling city that despite the threat of the Dreikathi, is
full of life.
Those counted as enemies of the Dreikathi are welcomed as allies within
the walls of Delve, as long as they abide by the laws of the city. Delve
is also home to the only known access point between both the continent
of Sapience and that of Albedos outside of attempting to brave the
violent waters that separate them.
