Given Northguard's booming economy, and the very limited potential farming land near it, the city has elected to import goods from all over. With that, the harbor's district exploded in activity and size, ships coming to and fro nigh-constantly in this sprawling network of wooden docks, bringing with them tales from many locations and tons of supplies. Merchant ship captains - such as that of the Argosy - will remain down here to sell their goods instead of hiking to the Upper Tier, as Guild item and food-bearing sailors do. Several local ship captains are also in the employ of the Guild, providing their ships to take Hunters on simple Gathering quests and the like.
