Dumpney

Dumpney is town of moderate size on the south coast of Angeltir, located where the Serpentine river flows into the sea. During the period in which the Quirinal Empire ruled Angeltir, the port at this location was named Terminum (lit. “End Place”). In the Renomination, Terminum became “Dumpney” to suggest, perhaps humorously, that it was the dumping ground for the produce of Angeltir or of the Serpentine river itself. It is sometimes referred to as the "gateway to Angeltir".

 Dumpney sees a lot of water traffic and trade, both from the Serpentine and the open ocean. Angelterran and foreign merchants alike dock, offload, reload, buy and sell all manner of merchandise in Dumpney. The town itself seems to consist mostly of markets, warehouses and taverns and those that live within the town centre itself are involved in these businesses. There also a number of religious edifices, notably a temple of Wace and a sizeable shrine to the local folk hero, Fulbert Silvertears. In addition to the town proper, the community of Dumpney includes the dozens of fishing families that live along the shore for several miles either side of the town centre.

 Dumpney is technically outside of the jurisdiction of Fallcrest; it is a sort of enclave of Donnell Hall due to its strategic and mercantile significance. That said, the considerable power of the local Merchants' League (chaired by Helga Oldstone) and their mercenaries makes the town, in practice, largely autonomous.

On an island in the mouth of the river one can find the ruins of a Quirinal fortress now simply called the Red Fort due to the distinctive orange-red colour of its brickwork.
