Fenwatch Quay perches where the Blackfen River tortures through peat and reeds, a crowded river market of barges, crates, and smuggler alleys; trading huts lean over rotted pilings and lamp smoke blurs the faces of bargain-hungry merchants and wary sailors.
Where the river yields profit and the peat keeps secrets.
