Description: Gelf-Port is a vertical marvel. Because of the 200ft Gelf-Cliffs, the city is split between the "Low-Docks" (on the water) and the "High-Hold" (on the plains). Massive water-powered lifts move cargo between the two levels. It is the only place in the Gap where you can find goods from the Feywild, the Shadowfell, and Astra in the same market square.
