It is also home to the biggest harbour in the Country and is the main means of export and inport for the country.

Cliff Swinging This involves an individual using a long rope to attach themselves to the cliffs edge and then proceeding to sprint down the edge swining around and attempting to snatch some of the relics from the sea bed as the sea draws back. This sport is brutal and very few and strong, athletic are brave enough to even attempt the death defying swing.

Mistime your swing and you could be crushed by the waves into the clifface rocks.

All of the Kings children are well educated and trained in different areas of expertise. Narick is a great fighter and a well built Knight.
