Overview
The Reedcut Storehouse is a medium-sized warehouse built on ground once covered in tall reeds. Its clean aisles and marked bays make the most of the space, while a small office overlooks the loading floor. It serves local merchants and travelers who need dependable short-term storage.
Atmosphere
Orderly and workmanlike, with the scent of dry grain, oiled rope, and cedar planks. The creak of a handcart and the soft clink of tally weights carry through the cool interior.
Style
A practical timber-and-brick warehouse with a steep tiled roof, broad double doors, and narrow high windows. The loading side faces the road, where a stone ramp makes it easy to roll barrels and handcarts inside.
What stands out
History
The building was raised after workers cleared a dense reedbed from the edge of the trade road. It began as a place to keep grain dry through the wet season, then expanded its business to general freight as the road grew busier. Careful repairs and steady accounts have kept it in good order.
- Receiving and Storage
Incoming cargo is weighed at the front desk, marked with a chalk code, and assigned a numbered bay. The warehouse commonly holds flour, lamp oil, rope, salted fish, and tools for nearby shops. Owners can rent a locked cage for valuables, but no goods are accepted without a written tally.
- Security
The main doors are barred from inside after dusk. Toma keeps the only key to the rear loading gate, while Kit makes a nightly round with a lantern and checks the wax seals on the locked cages. A handbell beside the office can be heard throughout the building.
- Current Business
A recent shipment of iron fittings is overdue for collection. Its tally lists twelve crates, but only eleven arrived. Toma is willing to pay for discreet help finding the missing crate before the merchant who owns the goods comes to inspect the books.
