Welcome back to Ancora Bay! This second release of the mountaintop port explores the varied soundscapes of the city streets, as well as the dark monopoly powers that choke the city's underclass.
The Borough Guide
Ancora Bay is the metropolitan epicenter of cultural life in Roksunay, a claim to fame best expressed through their hybrid music scenes. Rigid elven estille wyn fills the air, but so too do groovy island beats. Alongside the city's virtuosos, you'll find the bloodsucking Consortium: a board of 8 oligarchs greedy oligarchs who manipulate every aspect of the Ancora Bay economy. Does your party have the guts to knock them down a peg?
Maps
Every port needs docks, and the Corian Fleet accesses the sea by way of the berth immediately opposite the People's Palace. The edge of Ancora Bay's shanty town abuts the magnificent Conservatory, highlighting the disparate economic classes that inhabit the seaport. When the ocean rises, though, not even the Consortium is spared from the torrential waters. General Messengers and Chief Couriers get access to both underwater variants and torrential floods.
Music
Alright, look, we try not to repackage materials here at Borough Bound, but Will's best track of all time (imo) is "Ancora Bound," a moody sea shanty inspired by Ancora Bay. We've got a new version of that track which features an infinitely danceable Caribbean groove. It's the perfect way to show you players "look, this here is a FUN ISLAND." Plus, our Chief Courier patrons get access to both the original track and a gorgeous vocal rendition featuring a performance by Borough Bound patron and wife Clare Grall.

Ooh, good call re: linking the illustrations. We'll be releasing Ancora Bay over the span of the next month and a half or so. Our target is always to do four releases per month. We *may* occasionally do fewer than that, but we promise not to do more.

Wow, part 2 already! Is Ancora all going to be released in a single month or since this is a bigger borough will it be an extended release? Also, would you guys be able to add the Google Drive link for the illustrations to the master post?
