Rougeport is a historic island port community located in the far northeastern reaches of the Oldeshire region. This old and fortified community first came into existence through the efforts of its founder, Vinso124.

Overview

Rougeport's architecture is marked by its predominant use of cut stone bricks, giving the community a robust and timeless character. The town walls, along with the majority of buildings, are built from this sturdy material, reflecting the community's historical emphasis on defense and durability. Complementing the stone structures, the buildings are predominantly roofed with oak, adding a classic touch to the architectural ensemble.

As a walled community, Rougeport boasts impressive defensive capabilities. The stone walls are adorned with crenellations, a feature typical of medieval fortifications. The town is further divided into six walled-in areas, making Rougeport a well-defended port. This segmentation not only enhances security but also adds to the town's unique layout.

Rougeport maintains modern connectivity despite its historical roots, as it is linked by subway to the Nysa Line. This connection facilitates easy access to and from the community, blending its medieval charm with contemporary transport solutions.

The community is home to several large medieval-style homes and businesses. Known for its charitable nature, Rougeport houses a homeless shelter and a soup kitchen, highlighting the community's commitment to supporting and aiding the less fortunate.

Adding to its cultural landscape, the community also features a large church, a performing arts stage, and a clocktower. These structures serve not only as landmarks but also as centers for community gatherings and cultural events.

Remnants of Rougeport's medieval past are still visible, most notably with the guillotine execution area located outside one of the main guard towers. This historical artifact serves as a reminder of the town's long and varied history.

Today, Rougeport continues to be a vibrant and tightly-knit community. Its blend of historical architecture, modern amenities, charitable institutions, and cultural venues make it a unique and appealing destination in Oldeshire.
