The main shipyard that powers the naval arm of Druma's mercantile empire, the city of Detmer is located on a rocky outcrop that is thrust out into the Gulf of Accord on Lake Encarthan. It is from here that the barges and caravels that cross the lake and ensure Druma's wealth are launched. The city is famous for its Sapphire Harbor which, thanks to Druma's incredible wealth, is a more literal description than most think.1 Very little trade (at least by Drumish standards) takes place in Detmer, as it is primarily focused on shipbuilding and maintenance. The Drumish Navy is headquartered here as well, providing security in the Gulf of Accord and wherever else Drumish merchant ships travel in the pursuit of trade.2

History

Detmer was abandoned due to environmental changes in -985 AR. Kalistocrats purchased the site in 1644 AR for redevelopment, and re-founded the settlement as a port city using its former name.3
