Sapphire Cove	A description of the "home port" for the party of adventurers.	2023-02-20T00:10:00-05:00	campaign	feature	csc

A relatively small port on the outer rim of the Astral Trade Zone, Xynohpus Cove (or Sapphire Cove, as the locals refer to it) is a collection of small wooden buildings on a flattened fragment of the earth plane, complete with its own magic shop, blacksmith, armory, and a two-story warehouse.

• Located on a oblong fragment of earth, about 200' across by 50' around.
• 20' diameter portal to the warehouse district of the aptly named Portown, a city on the material plane of Aryeon.
• A large magical clock above the portal shows the current time both on the astral plane and in Portown.
• Usually has 1-2 ships in dock.
• Founded almost 100 years ago by the wizard Lord Xynohpus.
