Hello class, I am making an island called Misty Docks which is a port town that uses hydro power (extracting the magic in the sea to concentrate it through arcanium) to provide power to the town artificially. As the name suggests, this town will be a rocky and misty island that is relatively small to medium in size. Habitants live in sort of hobbit-like houses in the side of cliffs.
I need ideas for what I should put in it!
Examples like: NPCs, structures, layout, backstory, and anything else you can think of that won’t be hard to fit into the lore.
Go forth
Proposed Ideas:
Gale potion depository
Hot Springs (Might be possible with the properties of magically charged arcanium)
Flooded Mines, an area underneath the Maw that is used to harvest a variation of Arcane Salt and arcanium
Polluted Water Magic infused muskets
Day 1 Progress
The Maw
The Market
Captain’s Quarters
NPCS
Chief Cliffe, a water warlock who uses a modified version of sailor’s fist that uses heavily polluted toxic seawater as opposed to the normal type. This augmentation gave him permanent effects such as purple veins and his water magic turning a slight shade of purple/red
Lore/Backstory
Chief Cliffe was the original founder of the Stratus Waterway. After stumbling upon it he decided to settle down after a long life of sailing and plundering kingdom ships. After a few years other settlers wandered upon the island, all deserters who were scientists of various warring kingdoms. Feeling unwanted and unappreciated by their kingdoms because they were too focused on battle, the scientists decided to stay at Stratus Waterway to continue their studies due to the island’s closeness to the dark sea which gave it increased magic pollution in the waters; this became the main subject of their studies.
They became one of the few islands in the War Seas to have a rudimentary electricity system by sourcing arcanium, hydro power, and magic pollution to create a constant whirlpool, irrigation systems, wired lighting, and automated pulley and lever systems which make them a good weapons manufacturer. Their infrastructure is mainly isolated, they rarely take visits from outside kingdoms but will gladly take deserters as long as they promise to help further their studies. They export weaponry to nearby small islands and lone sailors.
Chief Cliffe, oddly enough, is the only mage on the island (lore explanation? Who knows!). After a kingdom siege on the island for their valuable research (because the kingdoms just wanted to take their work and not do it themselves), the Chief was nearly drowned in the water channel in the whirlpool but due to his sheer strength and will to throw a middle finger to every kingdom, he drank shit tons of the magic polluted water and unlocked a new form of Sailors fist that caused corroding to others and insanity to the user (yes he is now slowly dying) but his mentality is keeping him alive.
Will add more as more comes
We also have rudimentary electricity, do with that what you will
cant wait for there to be a secret place inside of it that makes devourers labeling their entire production method
