The Port District of Arrabar is honeycombed with canals, leading to a large “turning basin” just south of the Warehouse District. So many buildings can be said to be “waterfront” that someone looking at the admittedly stylized…

Meanwhile, in Ath Cliath…
“Old Cunning” Flann was a wizened Hibernian merchant of unknown but great age and legendary wiles, notorious for his swindles and financial successes. Ere the Norse came to Ath Cliath, …

…Flann had risen to become the largest landlord in the city, though he was still usually to be found in his “boneyard” or walled compound of high-heaped old junk salvaged for resale, as filthy as ever.

After the One-Eyed King took the throne, Flann sold up, slowly and carefuilly disposing of his city properties at high prices. So when he died some days back, in his bed and apparently of old age, some folk…

The King does miss it, but he’s busy sighing, shaking his head, and asking, “Who shut all of you in the crypt? As opposed to any of my hundreds of closets and antechambers and robing rooms and—and—”

“—other handy chambers,” Wolf steps in smoothly to finish the royal sentence, “that lie waiting, scattered across this vast and overblown labyrinth of a Palace?”
“Halark of the Howling Abyss,” the Dark Sister replies coldly.

“And who by the Sacred Stumbles of the Gods,” the King rasps, “is Halark of the Howling Abyss?”

The Dark Sister smirks. “I’ll say this for you, Wolf: you lie, swindle, cheat, and murder with a certain style.”
“Deeply Oily, I call it,” Chantratha murmurs. As some charred clothing falls away, laying bare one shoulder.

“Time to go shopping,” the ghost suggests, pointing at Chant.
“Believe me, when I find a suitable selection of clothing…”
“Like this?” the ghost suggests, her shadowy self swirling into a plunge-front high-collared gown.

“I was thinking more black velvet-covered plate armor,” Chant replies rather grimly. “Bristling with magical powers. And a codpiece. I’ve always wanted a codpiece.”

Hi!
Due to the longtime dominance of elves in Loudwater, the now-city (though in population it’s shrunk back to town size) looks like a garden, with winding paths and streets, many trees and garden beds, and manicured lawns and…
