Technically a subset of the Wharf District, in truth the Docks maintain a separate identity from Obsidian Bay's industrial quarter. The Docks typically hold about 50 sailing ships, with a half-dozen of those being warships belonging to the city, and are separated from the Wharf District to the north by a 20-foot-tall, 10-foot wide stone wall.

Temporary Site List

As items are added to the wiki, they should be removed from this temporary list. If you tagged things right, they should then appear in the Sites list below.

  • Fisherman's Stand: A low-lying coastal settlement consisting of shacks for common fishermen and their families, and several jetties for their small boats. There's also a crude fish market here, but most of the best catches are taken to other, more upscale locations elsewhere in the city.
  • Porters Gate: The Porters Gate is primarily used for transporting cargo to and from the ships tied up at the Docks. Regular citizens are actively encouraged to use the main Sea Gate for entering the Docks.
  • Sea Gate: The heavily fortified Sea Gate serves as both the primary means of entering and leaving the docks as well as an important bulwark against seaward invasions.
  • The Admiralty: The fortress of the Admiralty is home to the leaders, sailors and marines of the Obsidian Bay Navy.
  • The Sunken Hammer Guild Hall: Easily Obsidian Bay's most nautical guild, the Sunken Hammer Guild is dedicated to exploring coastal and submerged ruins along the Azure Sea. Their guild hall is filled with treasures and trophies from such places, including gigantic shark jaws, beautiful clusters of coral, and amazing ornmanents crafted with pearls.
  • Wharf Master's Office: The Wharf Master's Office is charged with coordinating shipping in Obsidian Bay, as well as administering taxes on anything arriving (and occasionally leaving) the city.
