Langport (ラングポート), also known as Langport, the Dazzling City (煌都ラングポート), is a port city in Calvard. Langport is situated in the south, facing the southern sea.
Background[]
The second largest city in the republic, behind only Edith, Langport is larger than both Crossbell City and Ordis, and has become known as the "second heart of the Republic" and as a symbol of diversity. Its cityscape consists of modern skyscrapers of the business and shopping districts in New Town. It is home to the continent's largest Eastern Quarter, featuring the East's distinctive style of bright reds and lacquered tiles.
There is also a Eastern Second Avenue with some of the older parts of the city. Many stores and facilities closely related to the daily lives of local residents, such as public bathhouses and restaurants, are lined up here, so tourists do not often visit. The area is also known as the home of the main dojo of Gekka, one of the three major forms of martial arts in the East.
Langport originated as a massive port for the south, but following the Democratic Revolution and the Orbal Revolution it has seen significant development.
Historically, Langport has come under the thrall of a reincarnated being know as the Tyrant approximately every forty years. This individual boasts extreme strength, charisma, leadership, and skill.
South of Langport lies the Morgia Archipelago. A short ways across the sea lies the abandoned mining town, the Heilong Cheng Zhai. A notable point of interest is the Seaside cave, featuring a Supreme Stone of the Wind Spirits along with other areas such as the Beckoning Waters of Hell, Intestinal Gate, and Chamber of Suffering. The headquarters and main dojo of the Gekka martial arts style is located in Langport.
Heiyue have a strong grasp upon the city, regarding themselves as the 'conquerors' of the city having fought off the Red Constellation. Heiyue operatives manage multiple businesses and fronts within the city, from banks and hotels to restaurants and tour guides. Despite this, Heiyue are not the only investors in the city, with many other influences from places such as Longlai, present.
Trails through Daybreak[]
Van Arkride and the Arkride Solutions Office come to the city at the request of Cao Lee and Heiyue to help settle tension created by the actions of person of interest Aaron Wei. Almata made moves on the city and antagonised Heiyue's forces leading to a tumultuous situation where all out war in the underworld was a possibility. Van and the party successfully resolve the situation and uncover a conspiracy regarding a 40 year recurring legend.
