Upon arrival outside this seaport, some ship captains start believing the rumors that one side of the port charges higher taxes than the other side. I haven’t decided on a name for the seaport, nor any surrounding towns/villages, yet.

This isn’t true, but it does keep the harbor patrol hopping !

Maps at this scale will seldom have the exact placement of towns and villages. Cities, forests, and some hill/mountain areas will be close to design or exact placement. That gives me some fudging room later on.
