Flotsam was a port city on the Blood Sea of Istar, also known as "Floating Junk" by the area's gnolls. The city was known for bandits, smugglers, and pirates. The majority of races that lived here were humans and kender. The Blood Bay was on the east side of the city, with a 10 foot wall around the city. Three gates allow entry into the city in the Southwest, Southeast, and North.
Founding[]
Flotsam was founded after the Cataclysm struck Krynn. The Blood Bay was created from the destruction that befell Istar, and a lot of the debris floated down and ended up where the city was built. From those debris is how Flotsam was founded and how the city got its name. The rich area of town is call The Rock, and the rest of the city is called simply "Lower City".
War of the Lance[]
During the War of the Lance, Lord Toede had this as his base of power. It went through several leaders after his death, before he was again resurrected and was named the Lord of Flotsam by the people there.
Post-War of the Lance[]
The city continued on much as it had before, with Toede being the Lord of the city. He had many spies that would gather information on any new comers into the city.
