The Northern Continent was a vast land, almost as large as the Central Continent. It was also the furthest from the other landmasses of Topor, so it only made sense for it to be surrounded by an abundance of water.
When the initial colonists came upon this land, the first place that had been developed was a port city. Time passed by, and this port city came to be known as Oceabal the City of the Ocean.
The city remained as a major hub of trade between the Northern Continent and the other continents of the world, while the colonists spread out through the continent. They also encountered the natives, and after some skirmishes, they were able to come to an agreement that allowed the natives to hold some sway and power in Oceabal.
Through that, the port city continued to thrive over the decades since its founding.
