Ranst

Location

Ranst is a port on the east coast of Aanvang Island.

Population

As of the year 343IC, Ranst has a population of about 700 people although various ships crews can easily push this to closer to a 1000 when the port is busy. Humans are the predominant race in Ranst with the bulk of the remainder being Dwarves.

Description

The port is smaller than the town of Ranst but the harbour can berth moderate sized ferries and merchant vessels. It's a common stopping-off point for vessels heading to and from the west coast of Thorast.

Defences

Ranst has no defences of its own but as a port there are often sea-going vessels harboured that can take the townsfolk to safety. If necessary, some military force can be requested from Fort Aanvang.
