Vectra (pronounced VECK-trah) is a major city within the Western Coast. Situated at the mouth of the Ludo River, the port of Vectra is one of the largest and most active in the region. Social and political life in the city is dominated by a small number of merchant families, who between them own most of the docks and warehouses that the city relies upon.
Though not as bad as in Gullport to the north, petty crime is rampant in Vectra. Sailors that frequent the city often remark that no one leaves Vectra with their coin purses heavy - what isn't swindled by the oligarchs or lifted by the pickpockets, the gambling houses are all too happy to take.
Vectra is currently ruled by the halfling Lord Mayor Camosa Otxa. Otxa has struggled to maintain the support of the wealthy families of the city throughout her tenure, as she attempts to balance their demands for a hands-off approach to governance with the increasing Eretreban influence in the city. Eretrebus has begun to show great interest in Vectra, and ships from the island nation have become regular sights in the port as they purchase goods to sell elsewhere.
The goblins of Pliver are a minor nuisance to Vectra. Ships attempting to enter the city generally leave and approach along the coastline to the north in order to avoid goblin pirates.
