Cundalos
Free City
location: a bay on the west coast of Altis, off the Amphithael.
population: rank 4 (of 10)
Name Derived From: original so far as I remember. Though a quick google search pulled up a Yorkshire village, Cundall, that was listed in the Domesday Book, so it might have been a part of a name pull from that source & I just forgot the connection. At any rate, the name isn’t evoking anything from North Yorkshire or the Yorkshire Dales for the setting. At least, it wasn’t…
Model: Baltimore
Flavor Text:

Cundalos is one of the small but vibrant trade ports of Altis, taking advantage of its position on the Big Island and the excellent (if somewhat out of the way) location on the Amphithael to draw trade from all compass points. Cundalos isn’t on either direct route from the north coast ports of Somaris but has a reputation locally for its enlightened tariff schedule, and lax investigation on the part of the harbormaster’s office.

As a result it gets a bit more ‘gray’ trade than other ports in the area, especially ships that want to avoid the larger quays of Pontis while still trading with the cities inland on Altis. Cundalos does a great deal of direct business with Nolis, Bosc, the northwestern Alinth dependencies, and the merchant princes of the northeast and northwest seas. Even with the thinly disguised smuggling, trade is trade and overall business is strong. The majority of ships making port here are plain, honest merchants looking for a good deal.

The rule of law in Cundalos is enforced by the Lord Mayor, with a limited term of 5 years, elected by the local guilds but serving under a Lord Provost, which is a lifetime position but not hereditary, with a new Provost elected by the 11 “noble” houses from among their members whenever there is a vacancy

Edit:
A quick image search pulled up a couple of images of North Yorkshire, though neither of these is Cundall
