Assassination attempt at Port Kar

By Videtta Kiranov, Reporter for the Tyros Times

The alarm bells rang in the early morning hours at Port Kar and an assassin climbed the outer walls entering the city.  The warriors of Port Kar responded chasing down the member of the black caste but at a high cost as the first sword received a near fatal wound.
The physicians at the infirmary worked tirelessly attempting to save the mans life and in the end succeeded. They moved about the infirmary with a quiet efficiency that spoke volumes about how often this city is attacked.
Port Kar opens it gates to everyone, but surviving there is difficult.  Pirate raids, assassins often plague and roam the streets.  The dress for free women is very lax, and unlike Tyros, it remains a dangerous place.  More from its own citizens than from any outside raider.

The trouble will continue for a long time as long as they continue to be a refuge for outlaws and pirates.  Until then, it is an exciting city with merchants scurrying for their rooms and everyone keeping an eye on everything.  With the clinic running a medical school because of the many wounded that come through their doors.
