Burthe

Burthe is a town on the southern coast of Cornumbra.

Description
Burthe radiates out from a large, drained dry dock within which sits the pristine warship Ash Cardinal. The deck and innards of the ship have become part of the town, with the deck serving as an open air market and tavern and the innards serving as temporary and permanent housing.

The Stuffed Coffin
The most popular public house in the town is The Stuffed Coffin, which is built in a temporary structure atop the aftcastle and poop deck. The tavernkeep is Cogel Borbridge.

History
Burthe has a long history of piracy and shipwrecking and for a time during the 1300s was the haunt of the infamous pirate captain Gospia Umberton, also known as the Ash Cardinel. Upon the capture of her ship and her execution it was discovered she had left the entirity of her stolen wealth in a chest hidden within the town that was impossible to open through physical or magical means. To this day the container remains locked, and now remains in the custody of the Schoste family in Saltcaster.

Society
Burthe has a population of 622.
