==History==
Laureas, named for the laurels of victory, had been the site of an early Crown victory. But something went wrong, and the town declined. People still live there, and it held [[Beattle|a lacklustre Academy]]. <ref>Laureus, named for the laurels of victory, had been the site of an early victory, after the Crown had landed on the fledgling nation’s shores.  But it wasn’t a place that lived up to its name.  The local Academy had lost stature, the city hadn’t proven itself as a pivotal cog in the machine, or something else had gone wrong, and the foundation had rotted. It gave the sense of a place that had been abandoned.  The wooden growths that supported and reinforced local structures now played host to a new ecosystem that enjoyed close proximity to the ocean.  Algae-like slime grew on the wood, and where that slime dried out and died, it provided nutrition for weeds and saplings to find a foothold.  The lights within buildings weren’t strong, with much of it being candlelight and oil lanterns. But people occupied this place.  There was a high concentration of back-alley doctors here, which was starting to make sense, now that I’d been told about Beattle Academy’s approach to student intake and retention.

==Geography==
The town sprawls around a bay. The port is at the north end, surrounded by slums; a ferry crosses the bay, back and forth. <ref>With that as our vantage point, as we crested the hill, I could take in Laureas from a distance.  The city sprawled, not a lot of it attractive.  A port at the north end, ships coming to and fro, with dilapidated slums where we’d found the strays and set up our headquarters.  A ferry crossed back and forth across the bay itself.

==Trivia==
*There's no proof but listen this place is totally meant to be an alt of Brockton Bay. It's even got a ferry!<ref>Source -> Trust Me</ref>
