For the purposes of taxation, all unloaded
cargo must pass through inspection at
Mealvaan's Gate, as must the crews and
passengers of docked ships. Established
some five hundred years ago by Admiral
Mealvaan, the Gate has supported the
maritime city-state and her trade since.
The arcanists who man it as "assessors"
are well versed in sums, and have
established the Arcanists' Guild within so
as to train newcomers to their art.
