 In time, people started settling the land surrounded by the port.  Lots of money and goods were exchanged between merchants.  This money is what brought people to the port.  The population soon flourished because everything a person needed was available at Port Haven. In time, people started settling the land surrounded by the port.  Lots of money and goods were exchanged between merchants.  This money is what brought people to the port.  The population soon flourished because everything a person needed was available at Port Haven.
  
-From 3/17/10081 to 4/21/10081, the city was struck with a terrible disease known as the Undying Plague. This disease caused immense pain, sores, boils, and profuse bleeding.

-Slavery has been shut down on Port Haven thanks to the T'orite Enclave. Due to a series of events on Frøsland, many T'orite Enclaves and Stockades have taken it upon themselves to start making efforts to remove slavery from the rest of Jaern. In 10081, the Enclave of Port Haven was finally able to shut down the slave trade on Port Haven for good. Any involved with the trade have been arrested, and all of the profits previously made from slavery are being used to give previous slaves proper citizenship on the island.+Slavery has been shut down on Port Haven thanks to the T'orite Enclave.
