Joran Veyl's dockhouse specialized in smoking fish for preservation, supplying both local families (via [[arla_town|Arla Town Market]]) and the Funkenberg Fishfactory.

In the perpetual twilight of the [[asari|Asari Region]], lanternlight flickered softly against the timbers, making the hanging nets sway with shifting shadows. The glow of coals and the hiss of the smoking racks created a heavy, enduring mood — a place built for work and survival, never luxury. ===== Public Access, Operating Hours & Operational Rhythm ===== * **Operating Hours:** 04:00 – 18:00 * **Sales Rhythm:** Fresh fish mornings, smoked fish weekly * **Community Role:** Supplier of preserved fish to Arla and caravans ===== Player Interactions ===== ==== Legal ==== * Arrange fish deliveries via Arla Town Market * Negotiate bulk sales with Funkenberg Fishfactory * Learn smoking techniques from Joran ==== Illegal ==== * Hide contraband in smoked fish barrels * Bribe Joran for secret river transport * Steal preserved stock for black market ===== Tactical Advice for Dungeon Masters ===== Joran can serve as a mentor or reluctant smuggler.
