	Perhaps the most advanced port in all the Empire, Cargo is built on high cliffs overlooking the river Couros in the [[#Limus\|Limus]] foothills. Built on multiple gradated levels and sheer cliffs, it is truly a remarkable settlement. Food from the pampas of the [[The Brass Coast\|Brass Coast]] and the distant [[The Marches\|Marches]], as well as luxuries from cities of the [[The League\|League]] and even raw materials from [[Varushka]] all pass through Cargo - along with travellers from both the Empire and distant foreign lands. Its wealth owes a lot to the remarkable cranes - both those that speed the process of loading and unloading visiting river boats, and those allowing great quantities of imported goods and exports of stone and metal ore to be winched from the riverside docks to the cliffside heights. As befits a town built on several levels, Cargo is also a centre for the stuff of civil engineering - and of those applications of ritual magic that enhance or support the creation of durable structures. There is some rivalry with the [[Highguard\|Highborn]] town of [[Necropolis#Hedra\|Hedra]] on the other side of the river, and historical rivalry with coastal spires such as [[#Elos\|Elos]] and lost [[Spiral#Apulus\|Apulian]].

In 386YE, concerns began being raised about the proximity of the [[Ambassador_to_the_Commonwealth#The Diplomatenschloss\|diplomatenschloss]] - the [[Commonwealth]] embassy - across the river in [[Necropolis#Hedrossan\|Hedra]]. Ships from the two rival nations must travel up and down the Couros river to reach their respective embassies and there are worries that it is only a matter of time before fighting breaks out between the two.

	The Jarmish embassy was joined by an [[Ambassador to Axos\|embassy]] to the [[Axos\|citadels of Axos]] shortly before the Autumn Equinox 380YE. In contrast to the embassy to the magician-princes, the embassy to the masters of the ''necromantia'' is a six storey structure of white granite, with a wide base that tapers toward the roof-garden that crowns it. It was designed with the assistance of architects from the Towers of Kantor, and in much the same way Urizen architects were extensively consulted before work began on the Imperial Embassy in Axos. Some minor controversy has been sparked by the inclusion of a half dozen mummified corpses in the chambers beneath the embassy, said variously to be deceased relatives of the ambassador ... or members of the ambassadorial staff, depending on who one asks.

	Built in the foothills of [[#Optarion\|Optarion]], the Court of the White Fountain is a single massive tower of white granite surrounded by a massive semi-circular wall that completely fills one of the few major passes between Redoubt and the Broken Shore to the south, The White Fountain itself is a great plume of liquid fire that bursts from somewhere deep within the earth and cascades down into a black basin before the tower, before disappearing back beneath the ground. The great courtyards of the tower are sufficient to hold the entire armed forces of Urizen, and the open ground they represent creates a deadly killing field for the skilled Urizen archers who garrison the upper reaches of the tower and the walls. ('''OOC Note:''' This is a rank one [[Fortifications\|fortification]]).

	At the Summer Solstice 384YE, a ritual was performed on the Court of the White Fountain as the culmination of [[Stone_and_stone#Girdle_the_Flame\|a project suggested by Adamant]]. As a result, the fortification is now ''unbreakable''. This means that damage to the ~~fortification~~ cannot reduce it to below 1,000 ~~military strength~~. It can be captured, but it cannot be destroyed.

	At the same time the embassy to Axos was being built, work was also proceeding on an [[Ambassador to the Sarcophan Delves\|embassy]] to the [[Sarcophan Delves]]. Three squat towers connected by covered walkways surround a central garden notable for its riotous profusion of exotic herbs and the glass roof that covers it, allowing the often-delicate plants to prosper in the otherwise inhospitable climate of western Urizen. The embassy has spilled over into Moonfall Square, an open area previously used by musicians and artists, which is now increasingly dominated by an impromptu market as merchants from all over the Empire (and beyond) come to bargain with the traders from Sarcophan. Due to the presence of five official ambassadors, and their staff, all trying to inhabit a single embassy, many of the buildings around the square have also been bought up by Sarcophan citizens leading to one [[the Marches\|Marcher]] wag dubbing it "Little Delving". The garrulous Sarcophan enthusiasm for trading and street-culture has already made some of the Urizen citizens in the area a little uneasy - an unease that can only grow thanks to the completion of the [[Bewaarder_van_het_Vandersar_dok#The Concordium Dock\|Concordium Dock]] and the concomitant increase in the number of Sarcophan merchants coming to Cargo.

			Also, [[384YE_Spring_Equinox_Senate_sessions#Construct_Grendel_Embassy\|since 384YE]], Cargo has been the home of the [[Grendel]] embassy. The orcs of the Broken Shore initially [[Everything_has_a_price#A_Grand_Edifice\|proposed a grand edifice]] that would have overshadowed the other embassies, but the [[Imperial Senate]] declined their "kind" offer and instead built a more modest structure here. Built during a [[Ratify_treaty_with_the_Grendel_Autumn_383YE\|time of relative peace]], since war resumed between the two nations the embassy has maintained a skeletal staff. Nonetheless, the embassy is carefully watched by the sentinels of Cargo; the Grendel have a well established enthusiasm for espionage after all.

Overseen by the [[Seer of the Spiral Sword]], this beautiful structure serves as a hub for Imperial [[Crafting skills#Artisan\|crafters]] of [[magic items]].

	The greatest threat to the spires and quarries of Limus comes not from below, but from a band of particularly clever orc bandits and their mountain [[ogre]] allies. These orcs are believed to occupy a cunningly hidden valley somewhere in the mountains here - or possibly on the slopes of southern Zenith - and regularly raid caravans travelling the road along the banks of the Couros. They have proved particularly difficult to uproot, and practical Urizen have responded simply by sending important cargo by boat rather than wagon. Those spires of Limus who lack the ability to take this easy option would likely be quite grateful to anyone who could solve their problem once and for all. To date, they have not dared attack Cargo, but some residents are concerned that it is just a matter of time.

The Jarmish embassy was joined by an [[Ambassador to Axos\|embassy]] to the [[Axos\|citadels of Axos]] shortly before the Autumn Equinox 380YE. In contrast to the embassy to the magician-princes, the embassy to the masters of the ''necromantia'' is a six storey structure of white granite, with a wide base that tapers toward the roof-garden that crowns it. It was designed with the assistance of architects from the Towers of Kantor, and in much the same way Urizen architects were extensively consulted before work began on the Imperial Embassy in Axos. Some minor controversy has been sparked by the inclusion of a half dozen mummified corpses in the chambers beneath the embassy, said variously to be deceased relatives of the ambassador ... or members of the ambassadorial staff, depending on who one asks.
