-Describe Port Joseph
+Port Joseph is located on the largest (which isn't saying much) of a chain of 
+islands west of the Kingdom of Scorn.  While the island doesn't boast very much, 
+most everything there is very practical.  How the times have changed. The early 
+days of Port Joseph was a haven for the most ruthless band of pirates that the 
+high seas has ever seen. The infamous reputation of Port Joseph died with the 
+passing of renowned pirate admiral, Moogley Bill. While his legend lives on, 
+his treasure horde is still missing. Thanks to increased presence and protection 
+from The King's Navy, many trade routes now pass through or near the area, so 
+that makes the Port a frequent stop and transfer point for merchants. 
+However, the pirate roots are still relevant today.
