The Sea of Storms

Historically, Port Silverstorm was a large mercantile city named "Nazaro". The city was located on the western coast of Chult, a small untamed jungle island shouldering the Sea of Storms.

The city was ruled by a human royal family for centuries, surviving and thriving by trading with the Western continent and surrounding settlements. Nazaro was a bullish city, who held power along a large portion of Chult simply by being the most ruthless. At this time naval trade was fairly undeveloped on Chult, meaning many of the goods were transported in large caravans along the coast.

Meanwhile, the Empire of Humans and Elves to the West grew in power. With their superiour technology and customs, the Empire quickly grew as a major power which eventually swallowed the Western continent and brought about a new age of prosperity. Having conquered the mainland, the Empire turned its sights towards the sea. This led to the establishment of the "Lionshield Distribution Venture", a trade company which swept through the Sea of Storms, quickly establishing a monopoly of trade along the Chultan border, including with Nazaro. Lionshield also established trade lines with the southern Dragonborn Clans and the Tiefling Khanates in Movil. Nazaro was in the ideal location to become a stop off along the trade routes throughout the Sea of Storms, which led to a huge influx of wealth for the city.

They came and traded with them lots and ruined their way of life and when the king died without an heir the city got fucked by the West who backed the merchant princes and put them in charge of the place. Lionshield was able to establish itself as the major trade outlet within the city, and harsher regulations from the senate were placed against independent trade companies.

It was bad for the culture and a lot of the native Chultans got fucked, but it was good for the city who got a lot of trade from the south and west with the establishment of official trade routes.

One of the largest and most controversial changes was that the name was changed from Nazaro to Port Silverstorm. Built lots of docks, lots of walls, made it real cool. But lots more disparity.
