Situated on the coast on the mainland side of the Straits of Balthus and north east of
Port Peril Parlay Point is a well ordered town which is neutral ground for the
Free Captains. The townsfolk are prosperous enough and make their living by providing services for
the those seafarers about to brave the perils of the northward journey round the fringes of the
Eye of Abendego. This includes well stocked shops, fine taverns and the
most favoured brothels in The Shackles.
The port can be a little difficult to approach due to hidden reefs but most ships manage to dock without
incident in the daytime. At night is a different matter especially in high winds and many a merchant vessel
had run aground just outside the port. Luckily the port also keeps a fleet of longboats ready to rescue the
poor sailors who need to be saved from the sea. The longboats also 'rescue' the ships' cargoes as well and
the Pirate Code states quite clearly the legal position as to ownership of such goods (under the section Finders Keepers).
