Old Quays

Once the main docks of the city, the Old Quays are now crumbling docks and warehouses used by only the most desperate. Cursed and broken ships are towed to the old drydocks here, stripped, burned or quietly hidden away. Situated at the rocky base of the Gallowskar karst, the district is characterized by rotting wood and leaning structures ready to fall into one another. Even when the weather is clear elsewhere, there is often a sickening fog lingering in the air here and the harbor seems eerily calm even during storms. Most common pirates and sailors avoid the Old Quays, claiming that the cursed ships towed here leave a palpable, haunted gloominess where shadows move and whisper.

Notable Locations

• The Black Slip: The dock where cursed vessels are moored and stripped, their parts cleaned and sold elsewhere in the city... perhaps to become a part of another ship about to find itself subject to a curse.
• The Iron Winch: The largest heavy-lift crane in the city, it is typically used for salvage and stripping of the largest of vessels... and, rarely, a monstrous sea creature some ship has killed and towed into harbor for meat.
• Saltbone Warehouse: A salvage sorting facility built out of an old, moss-covered warehouse that somehow still stands.
• The Sunk Chapel: A half-flooded shrine to forgotten gods, no one truly knows where the entrance to this accursed place lies, but none doubt its presence in the district.
