Dead Man’s Landing is one of the few Alliance controlled ports in the Pirate States, and the hold of the Alliance is tenuous at best.

Governance

Dead Man’s Landing is controlled by the Order Magi, a powerful group of wizards that control the port and ensure safe shipping for Alliance merchant ships, predominantly through their ability to control the weather and their magical combat prowess. They rule from their headquarters within the main quarters of the town.

The fort within the city serves as a garrison for the navy and militia, who act as a deterrence against pirate raids. The fort is also the harbour for all merchant shipping, which is mainly responsible for taking trade goods, such as spices, silks and cotton to Alliance ports further north.

Not the prettiest of maps, but it's amazing what you can do with a grid map, cell phone camera and Photoshop. This is the floor plan of the Lantern Tower that serves as a beacon for the port of Dead Man's Landing.
