The city of Newport is the largest settlement in the Newport Reach by a long distance. It is the capital of the Newport Earldom and is the Earl's primary residence (he also has a rural retreat at Tower Earl Home). While the Earl exercises final authority over the city, most day-to-day decisions are handled by the Factors' Assembly, made up of the heads of the various houses in the Merchant's Guild. Commerce is the chief concern of the city and its residents with its ships seen all over the Eastern Gulf and connecting seas. There is little concern about land attack, because of the protecting Sharp Mountains around the Earldom. The garrison is more likely to deal with riots or a guild family vendetta than invasion.
