Odors of evaporating salt from water's edge mixed with that of fish flesh, the former overpowering the latter. Piers zigzagged in labyrinthine style and led to various destinations - walk indifferently and you may end up inside a crannog or inside a modest construction of timber topped with thatch and random fishing nets of varying lengths. Bobbers and iron weights hang from the building's roofing like beads in a siren's hair. In the midst of the disarray of cobbled construction and meager resources, fishing rods of different tensile strengths and lengths have been lined up intently and orderly on racks along one wall.

 

Sailors, anglers, beggars, and youth make a habit of venturing to and from this modest station. Whether to retrieve needed equipment, to stow away caught catches from the sea, or to loiter with a lobster tail or fish spine to graze from; the anglers' station serves many purposes in Vistulia. Fedinri Krikdrul, known as the Black Elvellyn to many Cingedoz neighbors, is the guildmaster of this particular station and can often be found overseeing the usual traffic in and out of the quaint port at Crannogtown. The anglers' station appears interconnected with other ports across the Narrow Sea such as those in Helious, Norasath, and other ports leading to inland stations.
