The oldest port in Roule, Kabilcuz on the northwestern coast is where halfling colonists first made landfall three centuries ago. The original harbor has been rebuilt several times, but locals insist on showing visitors the "First Stone"—a weathered boulder supposedly touched by the first halfling to step ashore.
The city trades heavily on its history. Museums display colonial artifacts. Tour guides explain (with careful omissions) how the brave settlers tamed a wilderness. There's a performative quality to Kabilcuz's identity, as if the city is constantly trying to justify what happened here.
Beneath the historical theater, Kabilcuz is a working port. Shipyards line the harbor's edge. Fishing fleets depart before dawn. The city's craftspeople are known for fine woodworking, particularly furniture and musical instruments made from Murderwood timber—harvested, they insist, only from the forest's edge.
