On the main Island nestled in the southern hemisphere of the Atlantic Ocean, the ships can enter from three points from the open sea. Although the south western inlet is dangerous with it's reef, yet passable if one knows exactly where to pass. The ships will follow the deep, wide rivers inland, to the merchant city being built as a haven for all seeking refuge from any crown, Seacastlesden. Having placed faith in several of her men, they have been left to ensure to the cities building. Utilization of natives captured and made into manual servants. Due to the islands being uncharted; save for her own, it's doubtful that their safe haven will be easily or readily found
Though amoungst those, much like herself, the area is being placed (namelessly) upon their own charts. Pirates, bootleggers, syndicates, and all other underhanded dealing individuals, have found the area a perfect place for trade. Cargo can be shipped here, sold, then shipped out on merchant ships to areas; in which the items that have been taken are in great demand. No matter the cost. Although, much to their ignorance, JD is keeping tabs on all. Knowing who sails beneath the infamous Jolly Roger, and those who deal with them. It's always good to know your competition, for they're all potential enemies as well as patsies. They are also a great source for information as well. Never underestimate the woman, for she is sly and cunning in more ways than could be dreamed of, as well as equally dangerous.
On either side of the river, buildings are being erected around a large outdoor market. Booths, carts, wagons and a few store fronts line this open area. On the west side of the river, is where the tavern and inn rest. They are the only places one can find to seek room and inebriations; although in the market many venders selling pillaged bottles of liquor can be found.
Jaded Skull Tavern
The Jaded Skull Tavern sells basic liquors of Rum and Whiskey drawn from kegs. Finer grades such as Scotch, Poteen, Brandy's: Regular, Blackberry, Cherry, and Peach, Cognac, and Gin can also be found. There's the house ale, and that of dark that can be gotten by the tankard or pitcher. The kitchen provides modest meals, of roasted beef, pork and lamb. Although a variety of sea food is what it provides in abundance; Crab, Shrimp, Tuna, Shark, Oysters, Clams, White Fish, Cod, Flounder, and Escargot.
The Jaded Skull Inn provides all the basic comforts, as well as a public bath for the few who wish to clean up after a lengthy voyage at sea. It grows as does the demand for such luxuries. Most bunk upon their ships. Small cottages had been erected for those merchants who remain for a lengthier time, in which rent is paid.
Nestled in a cavern, that had been built to the Captain's specifications, is a hidden area in which she does most of her planning. Secret passages from both the inn and tavern allow her access to this, as well as an cave that runs to exit out near the area where the Swans are anchored.
