The island of Harmway had undergone a dramatic transformation over the past two decades under Imperial rule. Once a barren, wind-swept outpost in the Confederation's sphere of influence, it had served little more than as a military base. Back then, Harmway was a place for weary naval crews to dock, fill their casks with fresh water, and make hasty repairs before resuming their journeys across the vast seas to more raiding.
However, when the Empire extended its reach over the island, everything changed.
Now, Harmway had blossomed into a bustling hub of commerce, one of the most vital trade islands in the region. What had once been little more than a military garrison and rocky shores had been transformed by Imperial architects and traders into a thriving port city. Stone docks stretched out into the sea, wide enough to accommodate the growing numbers of merchant ships that arrived daily.
