User summary: Ah, Lanternport -- the City of Torches! Besides being home to the offices of Rothbard & Gazpus, the publishers of Sword & Backpack (24 Maguslane, near the Librarium Infinitum), Lanternport is one of the primary commercial and cultural hubs of the Known Kingdoms. Home to over 200,000 souls of different races, it is a melting pot of wonder, adventure and danger, a grand metropolis that can be all things to all people. Surrounded by a protective wall and bordered by cliffs, forests, hills and placid Lantern Bay, Lanternport has natural protection against invasion by land and sea (see the map on the next page), and attracts visitors and immigrants from all points of the compass rose.
