Kelpie Sleeve
A western coastal reach whose shifting weed banks make reliable charts short-lived.
The sleeve curls below Gaurheim's forest shore. Rafts of dark weed conceal rocks and provide nesting grounds for the Reedwake Otter. Sailors call the weed a kelpie's mane, though no reliable account describes the supposed animal itself.
Shipwrights from Cedarterrace tow unfinished hulls here to test their pitch. A recent hull returned covered in living rootlets despite having no root-bearing timber in its manifest. The yard can admit a supplier cheated or claim the sea itself can teach dead cedar to grow. Either explanation threatens contracts that support the town.
A coastal tool-using animal that opens shellfish on stones cached in reed beds.
A far-northern channel whose seasonal shore makes borders impossible to draw honestly.
A sheltered western passage where nursery boats and grain barges exchange cargo.
The southeastern shipping threshold on which small Qirarden can confront larger fleets.
A sheltered recess beneath the southern farm country, used by smugglers and rescue crews alike.
The broad western sea whose mild currents support the forests that finance borrowed summer.
