Port Carnelian[edit]
The governor of Port Carnelian is typically an eminent Londoner from the Foreign Office, residing in a mansion known as Heartscross House. They must handle a balancing act between keeping Her Majesty's subjects, the native tigers, and Khaganians happy.
The colony boasts a market known as the Blue Bazaar. (This seems to be 'bazaar' in the generic sense; it does not have a known connection with the Echo Bazaar.)
Historical and Cultural Inspirations[edit]
Port Carnelian was likely inspired by colonial-era Singapore. The British trading port was founded by Sir Stamford Raffles in 1819, and would go on to become a part of the British Straits Settlements.
Settlers in forested regions of 19th century Singapore were menaced by tiger attacks, with tigers claiming a substantial amount of lives during this time period, before the intensive hunting of tigers caused the tiger population of Singapore to be wiped out entirely.
