This is the cleanest and most well-ordered wharf on its side of
the river. (This isn't saying much - there's still enough rats and
fish guts to feed a goblin army.) It's primarily used by small
vessels carrying import items from Unicorn territory and light
cargoes (silk, spices, sake, some pottery) north on the return
journey. Because this dock is not very deep, larger barges (such
as those used for rice and timber) cannot easily dock here.
Because it specializes in more expensive items (and sometimes
items that are easier to slip under a kimono and steal), the
warehouses nearby are in better shape than most in theQuarter.
In addition to the guards hired by the captains or merchants,
the Moment'sEdge Firemen are often tipped handsomely to make
sure no fires occur in these warehouses. Merchants willing to
accept some pilfering prefer to eliminate the middleman and hire
the kajinin as guards. (All they ask is that the Firemen do their
stealing before the tax assessors visit.
