The Docks (Tenebris)

The most prominent feature of the City of Blades, used as the primary source of commerce and trade within the city itself. Located at the far west of the city and built into the coastal cliffs, the docks are considered seperate from the many districts which define layers within Tenebris.

Form & Function
A portion of magically raised ground which has been fortified with steel, creating a small island in the midst of the ocean off-shore from the coastal cliffs against which Tenebris rests. The Docks are treated as a free-port, outfitted to hold no small number of ships, allowing plenty of room for loading or unloading supplies and cargo. As busy as the docks might be at any given moment of the day, they are largely an area reserved for sailors and the captains who lead them, a majority of the trade occurring within the confines of the Market District as opposed to on the waterfront. However if one were seeking to make deals under the table or perhaps do a bit of black-market trading, the Docks are the only portion of the city which lack the presence of the Black Vanguard, and many of the captains will buy or sell just about anything for the right pouch of coin.
