Frostheim: a city full of the most beautiful women you ever saw, with very few men. They know some powerful magic tricks, but you can always send a few fast boats to simply snag a few women and flee before they can attack you. The place is some sort of sanctuary.
Skaldvik: the women are gorgeous here as well, but the city is better defended. They spend more time singing than preparing for war though. They brew a blue beer that you think is made from some kind of underground fungus. It is delicious and very coveted in the south. Sometimes they offer us tributes in beer for us to not raid them nor steal their women. We feel no obligation to accept.
Thrymgard: a highly militaristic city. They are mad at us for stealing women. They don't have good boats though, so that's their problem. In there you can loot lots of good metal weapons and armor. The battles are fierce, but those womanly looking men aren't as strong as your own men, so the battle usually goes in your favor.
Valkhavn: another weird sanctuary, but this one has both men and women in similar numbers, plus lots of old people. They have libraries, they make books for some reason. They get mad when we burn it, but they are weak and can't do anything about it. Very poorly defended.
Eryndor: the city is full of some weird dead magic animals that glow in the dark. their light lasts for years. Excellent plunder. Weak men, beautiful women. They are all lanky and point eared. Some call them Elves. They are lethal with bows though, so going inland is not adviseable.
Mythalora: a massive fortress with the only navy that could possibly stand up to yours in these lands. Maybe. Their ships are massive merchant ships. You fancy capturing one or more of them, they are really big. Well defended. Lots of fancy elvish crafts can be looted here, besides beautiful elf women and some precious metals and gems.
Thalrion: it is almost impossible to dock here, the place is a cliff. But the city itself is poorly defended, only a few archers. Lots of beautiful elf women, and they have a silver mine so tons of silver to be had.
