All along the length of the pier hang coloured lanterns, some in the shape of spiders and gods. Eel's End is open all day, every day. It is now mid afternoon, and the place is busy with an assortment of revellers, some well dressed, others sailors and thugs, on the decks of the ships. A few armoured men move amongst the crowd, grim faces amongst the carousing.The four smaller ships bear prominent signs, with gaudily-painted figureheads to match their names. "The Twin Tigers - Take the Tiger by the Tail and Try Your Luck", reads one. Opposite it, a barge with a large golden hawk on the prow read "Welcome to the Goldenhawk -No Safer Stay in Old Korvosa". Next to that is the "House of Clouds - The Caress of Our Lovelies will take you Straight to Heaven". The figurehead for that is a buxom woman in a state of dishabille. Opposite that - "The Dragon's Breath. Dream the Dragon's Dreams at an Affordable Price." Of all the barges, that one seems the most quiet and subdued from within.Finally, the largest vessel is moored at the end of the pier, the figurehead a large eel with a woman's head. Some sailors and women of easy virtue are dancing a drunken hornpipe on the foredeck, but the rear of the vessel is empty, save for two guards flanking double doors to the aftcastle, upon which is drawn an elaborate spider design.</blockquote>
