Old Piers

In decades past, nobles from Cloudbreach flocked to Cragmire Lake to sail upon its crystal clear waters. Mine tailings, waste runoff, and other pollution ended that practice almost forty years ago, but the rotting carcasses of once elaborate piers still jut into the lake's murky waters. A few masts peak out from the surface, tombstones of abandoned fishing vessels from more recent times. Regular fish cannot survive in the tainted waters, leaving only dangerous, hardy predators like the ravenous, toothy gar that have become such a problem in recent years. Those who venture across Cragmire Lake do so at their own risk.
For a piece of silver, a retired marine named Durskin will ferry up to six passengers across the lake in his sloop, a dingy vessel called the Autumn Runner. The destitute boatman lives on the deck of his boat, which smells of urine and teems with fleas and sea mites. Those seeking safer passage must rely upon the Harkness, a ten-man sailboat maintained by the shadowy Cult of the Green Lady, who use the vessel to cross back and forth between Cragmire Lake and the cairn in which their order holds its services to Miva, goddess of Death and Rebirth. Passage on the Harkness costs 3 sp, and passengers must endure bothersome sermons on the exquisite beauty of death and rebirth prowess of the Final Judge. In either case, it takes about 30 minutes to cross from one shore of the lake to the other.
