Mun Note: The city of Lamara has featured mostly in tales I’ve done on Discord due primarily to being too lazy to bring the verses featuring her to the blog. Lamara is a purely fictional island that has been designed for use in both POTC and Hornblower arcs. Any and all similarities to historical or present day cities is purely coincidental.

It is mentioned to visiting crews that leaving the city for the interior is not permissible without access granted by the House of Opal, and a guide assigned from the House of Jade. There are many reasons for this, not the least of which being the fact that individuals Lamara are responsible for making ‘disappear’ often live peaceably within the interior townsteads. 

Beyond the city walls, the island is largely wilderness. Though regions of it have been irrigated and designed for self-sustaining agriculture, much of it is forest too thick to manage or rocky regions with craggy and uninhabitable soil. Among the rocks and within the forest are highly venomous serpents that pose incredible risk to people unfamiliar with the region and how to both avoid nests and keep an eye on the trees above. 

Lemongrass line the safe paths, and are planted around homes and fields in order to discourage the snakes from entering areas inhabited by people. Walking off these paths is one of the major causes of deaths in the interior – though it is not just the snakes that pose such risks, they are the primary cause.
