Gunne
Gunne is a port town on the South-East edge of Rakee Island, in the Pelago Islands.
It is the best way to travel to Tian, which is located almost directly opposite on Volat Island - or alternatively to Seatail, in the southern oartof Volat. Some vessels may sail even further to other Pelago Islands.
Gunne is considered the capital of Rakee Island. Gunne holds buildings such as warehouses for storing goods, taverns and inns for travelers, shops selling various goods, and administrative buildings such as customs houses and offices for the port authorities. The shipyards where ships are built and repaired, as well as homes for fishermen and sailors. The architecture of these buildings are commonly timber framing and thatched roofs.
There are someolder buildings mixed with new and being built buildings.
The smell of fish, sea salt and drying seaweed - in some places grease from machinery fill the air.
When the sky is clear from the sea fog - scatterings of light grey clouds.
Seagulls fly over head.
Boats dot the harbour - in amongst the few ships.
There is a vibe of hard working life.
Nothing use to be difficult to get, for a price - although becoming harder since The Tatlo War began.
