Economy
As the gateway of Allani-Missrok on the Panator River, most goods from large ships are boarded onto smaller ships which can navigate the river when it narrows as it gets closer to Deeresford. Panator has a thriving fishing industry. It is the only place to get Nabas filets in large quantities.

Pana Island is a flat, wooded island. To the north of the city is a dense wooded area with a road cutting through the middle. To the east are caves on the river bank. To the west of the city, is a small beach and more caves. The temperature is warm in the summer and chilly in the winter. Not as cold as Allani-Missrok but not as warm Escambia or Palehammer.

Culture/Demographics
There is large Halfling population in the city and around the city in small camps. Most of the city is Human however. Many Halfling trading caravans go in and out of the city to Sapulpa and the North Star Nation via ferry to the Republic of Helvant city, Cordna. The humans in the city are fairly insular and are not very friendly to outsiders but tolerate them because the many travelers who come through the city seeking passage to the nations of the south east contribute to the economy.

Temple of Ioun
Followers of Ioun, god of knowledge. They are accepting of all races so long as they thirst for knowledge. The temple of Ioun in Panator also serves as a library. While patrons may not remove the books, they are able to read the sturdier books without supervision. The most popular book is Undiscovered Norymna by the bard Horatio. The library keeps several copies at a time because it keeps getting stolen.

High Church of Light
Primarily followers of Pelor. Popularity of this church has fallen recently because of the Harbormaster scandal. However once the new head priest is installed, popularity will probably return to previous levels because of the universal appeal of the church.
