Hurm is, perhaps, a shining example of how to not be a shining example but things get done. In fact things seem to be getting done a lot lately and with extreme attention to detail. Those visiting the city recently will have noticed that the streets are progressively cleaner, the guard dressed daily in clean and crisply maintained uniforms... even Red Bear's men seem to be acutely aware of their appearance. Merchant stalls are stacked neatly with produce in some form or fashion and even the beggars or their filth seems somehow orderly.
Tattered or significantly worn ships have been stopped in their dealings in order that the merchandise and even the ship itself can be set straight before any business can be reached. Some who refused may even have been turned away or had their ship and cargo confiscated. Needless to say the shipping lanes and ports are a'buzz about it.
Despite the difference much of what went on before still seems the norm. They just seem to be going about business very.. very differently....
