Malaca is known for three things: logging, shellfish, and the independence of its inhabitants. The remote, isolated town on the eastern coast of the ducado of Gallegos is battered by high winds and merciless tides, cut off from the mainland by La Sierra de Hierro. Due to their isolation and their largely Crescent ancestry, the people of this area remain fiercely independent and maintain their own culture and beliefs. In addition to the famous shellfish, the main local industry is smuggling.
Constanza took the Maris Stella into Malaca's harbour in Septimus 1668 when looking for the Crimson Rogers vessel Dauphin and its cargo of Syrneth artefacts.
