East Dock

The smallest and most precarious of the Coastlands' fishing villages, built on a narrow stone jetty that extends into open water. East Dock exists because the fishing here is extraordinary — the convergence of two currents brings catches that Darnis Bay and Kelport both covet. One bad storm could erase it. Along the Virelay Coastlands, this site is part of the lattice of harbours, bell-towers, and salt-marshes that look toward Virelay and the Underwater Well. The sea here remembers more than the maps do; the Loosening lives in the fog. House Thorne's trade lines once stitched these settlements together — some of those routes are still walked, others have gone quiet since the Fray reached the coast.
