Sapphire Cove

A relatively small port on the outer rim of the Astral Trade Zone, Xynohpus Cove (or Sapphire Cove, as the locals refer to it) is a collection of small wooden buildings on a flattened fragment of the earth plane, complete with its own magic shop, blacksmith, armory, and a single two-story warehouse.

  • Located on a oblong fragment of earth, about 200’ across by 50’ around.
  • 20’ diameter portal to the warehouse district of the aptly named Portown, a city on the material plane of Aryeon.
  • A large magical clock above the portal shows the current time both on the astral plane and in Portown.
  • Usually has 1-2 ships in dock.
  • Founded almost 100 years ago by the wizard Lord Xynohpus.
