Port Alrene Anchors
The two primary cities on Alrene Island have a somewhat brotherly rivalry, both being centers of nautical and fishing industries. Port Alrene is 10 times the size of Quebel though, so the folks of Quebel are definitely the little brothers and are prone to youngest sibling syndrome.

Home ice

It looks like an old warehouse near the Wharf District and was purposely given a rusty outer texture to blend in with the aging fish warehouses nearby.
