Celadon Channel
A sheltered western passage where nursery boats and grain barges exchange cargo.
Green-grey water separates the western approaches of Alceria from the open The Riven Run. Kirkengrove ferries work the lee shore, carrying seedlings in wet cloth and returning with sacks of barley. During spring surge, pilots follow the color of suspended clay rather than the apparent shoreline.
House Oss keeps a rescue shed on each navigable reach. A southern grain barge recently arrived with cedar pollen frozen inside its bilge, evidence that a shipment had traveled through cold country despite papers claiming a direct coastal route. The cargo is sound; the route is what someone wished to conceal.
A wooded western port of Alceria whose shrines remember the displaced.
A far-northern channel whose seasonal shore makes borders impossible to draw honestly.
A western coastal reach whose shifting weed banks make reliable charts short-lived.
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.
