What do we know about this port city of Andoran so near to Cheliax that's NOT in Seeker of Secrets, "The Prince of Augustana" or the Pathfinder Wiki?
I'm mostlty interested in the fluff: culture, society, setting and climate, architecture -- that kinda schtick.
Hopefully there's lots in the Campaign Setting and Andoran: Spirit of Liberty, yes? (I don't have those.)
Thanks guys.

Come on, there's gotta be something in the Campaign Setting and Andoran: Spirit of Liberty books not on the Pathfinder Wiki.
My impression of Augustana is that it's similar to Savannah, GA.
But, since it's a big ship-building town, that's hard to reconcile.
At least gimme this, what GH, FR or real world towns might make good comparisnons to Augustana as far as flavor, fluff, setting atmosphere, that kind of stuff?
Shipbuilding yes, but with a very military-naval-yards bent.
If I recall, Augustana is described as being a military seaport, on the mouth of the Arthfell river, with a larger "salt harbor" for military and industrial shipping and a smaller, further-inland "fresh harbor" for smaller local/river/fishing traffic. The hillside adjacent to the harbor has been turned into artificial fjords that hold the dry docks and shipyards for Andoran's warships, a tall hill holds a coastal battery (Fort Constance), whereas an island in the middle of the harbor holds the naval arsenal. Generally, industrial areas are around the shipyards/arsenal island, the slums are next to the inner harbor, the historic "old town" sits between the two harbors, and the ritzier homes are built on the hills just outside the coastal fort. Track down chapter two of Andoran: Spirit of Liberty for more specific details.
All in all, I'd draw closer comparisons to the mouth of the Potomac, the Newport News shipyards on the James, or Fort McHenry and its location on the Chesapeake Bay.
