[QUOTE="MacConnell, post: 8941781, member: 6855223"] The Harbor is a walled section of the city built, farthest south, on the eastern bank, because it is the cut bank of the Crystal River. The Artisan District is adjacent to the North. The harbor and jetty system are manufactured from large faux stone blocks, after advances were made in the cooking process to allow the larger sizes. Buildings are manufactured from fired brick but have thatch roofs. Fishing vessels are relatively small, carrying a crew of about 10, because they are manufactured from bound reeds. Masts are constructed from larger reeds from The Flats, and sails are made of cotton, grown in The Highlands. Molo Pesce, an Asylin born in Asylim, holds the Harbor seat and is the second oldest Magister, at 67 cycles, having held his position for 6 terms. No one would suspect his actual age just by looking, for he seems more physically fit than most a third of his age. He is known to be quiet and calculating, though some few close to him know that he can have a temper. Due to his physical appearance, people often underestimate his mental acumen. He rarely enters the Harbor or the Moonlight District, anymore, delegating all duties to those who serve him. Residents of the Harbor are about 70% Shimadow and 30% Ansylin, with just a few Amiradtha. Most Ansylins in the city cannot swim and are afraid of deep water, hence the abundance of Shimadows for sailors. Foot soldiers, swordsmen, from the Artisan District patrol the Harbor to police the populace. Production materials are collected by runners from the other parts of the city or at the dock. The caravan for salt and fish cakes departs from outside the Eastern Gate. Like skiffs, larger boats are manufactured from bound reeds and cane, manned with 4 to 10 sailors, and are powered by cotton sails. Though the hulls take on water, they are still buoyant, aided by cane outriggers on each side. Fish are the primary source of meat for the entire city. Ocean water is collected, as well, and poured into faux stone retaining pools, located outside the city, to be allowed to evaporate so that the remaining salt can be gathered. The salt is then further dried in smaller flats before being packaged for storage or trade. Sea turtles and their eggs are selectively harvested, so as to not devastate the population. Twice a cycle (year) for a period of only two days each time, shads crowd the shallows for the purpose of breeding. Regular fishing is suspended for these days as a bulk of the shad are harvested. The individual fish are too small to effectively be cleaned to be consumed by people, but they are packed whole and sealed into clay cakes, with various flavorings, to be cooked at low temperature. The cakes can then be stored for a prolonged period of time or even transported all the way to Boga City for trade and later broken open to consume the fish, bones and all. Some of these shad are also used to fertilize the crops in the Highlands. Sailors and laboring residents are paid 10 clams a day, of which 2 coins are returned for protection, 2 coins are returned for voting rights, 2 coins are returned for guild dues, and 2 coins are returned for water rations, leaving each resident with a mere 2 coins per day.
