Quent is one of the most lively and open ports in The Shackles. Unlike
Port Peril it is situated in a central position in the archipelego on Motaku Isle which gives
some advantage to a cunning and ambitious Free Captain wishing to influence her peers on the Pirate Council.
Much of the port's character may be down to the Mistress of the Port,
Tessa Fairwind, one of the region's more influential Captains. Tessa likes a good time and patronises many of the ports
businesses that provide drink or entertainment. She is also fairly free with her feedback on such establishments which encourages them to provide good fare, and quality entertainment at a decent price.
The 'liveliness' of the port is also down to Tessa's insistence that fights must be 'fair' one on one and that
anyone who is killed in a duel is not murdered. This has encouraged dueling as a spectator sport although the vast majority of duels are not fatal. On the other hand those killed in an ambush are definitely murdered
and the perpetrators would be wise to flee for justice can be very swift in Quent at the hands of Tessa or her entourage.
Under Tessa's guidance Quent has developed into one of the most prosperous ports in the region with other
free spending Free Captains and their crews frequently docking to pay court to her or to just enjoy the port's facilities. On either side of its central avenue, Blue Sky Road, lie every sort of business you could conceivably imagine. In the centre of the port is one of the its most notable establishments is the The House of Stolen Kisses, part temple, part brothel and
a leading regional information broker.
