A giant headland over 100 miles long and up to 40 miles broad juts out into the Tilean Sea, sealing off a large lagoon, into which flow numerous small rivers. This makes the lagoon extremely favourable for marine life and the people of Remas exploit this to the full and have gained a reputation as the world's greatest fishermen. The city was built at the tip of the peninsula, walled to all sides. To further strengthen its defences, there are two series of inner walls, following the contours of the headland and rising to a splendid citadel at its peak.
The Remans are splendid sailors, their ships competing alongside those of Miragliano and Luccini for the southern trade. Their small nimble craft may often be seen scouring the seaways with less honest intention, for the Remans regard the vessels of other cities as fair game - especially those of the Magrittans, who prevent them from fully exploiting the commerical potential of the south. Remas and Miragliano maintain a certain long-standing enmity and the two cities frequently war against each other, often soliciting the aid of the various small Tilean states and employing sell-swords and mercenaries from all over the Old World.
