A giant headland over 100 miles long, and up to 40 miles broad juts out into the Tilean Sea, sealing off a large bay, into which flows numerous small rivers. This makes the bay extremely favourable for marine life, and the people of Remas take full advantage of this, 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 defenses, 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 saliors, their ships competing alongside those of Miragliano and Luccini for the southern trade. Their swift and 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 commercial potential of the south. Remas and Miragliano maintain a long standing enmity, and the two cities frequently war against each other, often employing sellswords and mercenaries from all over the Old World.
