Port Sarim

"Ever since the fall of Falador, Sarim has become the dominant force in the reborn Kingdom of Asgarnia. Its powerful Navy governs all sea trade throughout the southern ocean."

- Sir Arden Finmoore

Port Sarim is a large coastal settlement located on the continent Celina on Gielinor.

Rise to Power
By year 169 of the Fifth Age, Sarim had grown into a modest port, almost wholly sustained by the local fishing industry. In the year 171, Falador was sacked by a rather large band of marauders from the barbarian outpost Gunnarsgrunn. While not excessively devastating to the city, the attack harshly deteriorated the local defenses and curbed economic growth in the following years while Sir Amik Varze committed the kingdom's resources to rebuilding Falador. Before any significant change had been made, though, the Sir Tezave led a brigade of Black Knights in an assault on the capital of Asgarnia in 174. A detachment of the Port Sarim Armed Guard, accompanied by soldiers of the Rimmington General Militia, marched to Falador to reinforce local defenses, but the aid was unable to prevent the Black Knights from breaching the city walls and burning much of the western part of the city down. Once the Sarimic and Rimmingtonian forces returned to their respective cities, Falador was rendered vulnerable to pillaging by weaker forces, such as the Goblins. Subsequently, half of the city's surviving inhabitants fled; half of these wanderers ended up in Misthalin or Kandarin, and the rest made their way to the woodland west of Port Sarim, forming the Southwood Refugee Camp.
