METAPHAZE World  of  Magic   Wharf District

Bruxelles, Eporue

On the southern edge of the city is the wharf district where great sailing ships land to offload their cargoes and take on the goods of the city. Nowhere in the city is there any indication of poverty or want. Even in the wharf district this holds true. The streets here are as clean as anywhere else in the city. The great warehouses of this section of town are as impressive as the other great buildings. It is said that the original design was that of Hans Holerith a renowned wizard of great ability. Like great bags of holding, these warehouses are inventoried and maintained by magic only hinted at by the rumors of those who work there. Aided by this the merchants of Bruxelles are said to be the most profitable entities in the known world.

There are 4 port areas. They are: Southport, Jib Sail Port, Sentinel Fort Port, and New Bruxelles Port.

Northwest of the wharf district is an entirely new type of open field you have never seen in all your travels. Great expanses of white marble, polished to a wondrous sheen are laid out in a grid-like pattern. Aligned down one side are large red squares of similar stone, and on the other side are green stone squares. Sitting on one of these great white squares you find a large sailing ship. It is entirely out of the water and men are busy offloading it and scurrying about it as if it were one of the typical ships you saw in the wharf district.

Again, you are rescued by the acute perceptions of yet another city resident who asks if you like their flying ship port. Ships fly through the "air" and land at their "port". While there are not yet many of these impressive vessels in the world, the city has planned ahead and prepared sufficient capacity for them when more begin to ply the skies like those that presently dock in from the seas. You glance once again at the large ship and catch her name... "The Flying Dutchman".
