LIRA KAELEN’S DOCKHOUSE

• Location: Industrial Ring, Arla Town
• Address: NW Industrial Ring Road 3
• Surroundings: Located in Arla Town's “Fishermen's Quarter”, adjacent to the banks of Lake Arla and nearby the Funkenberg Fishfactory.

Lira Kaelen, a widowed fisherwoman in her forties, was famed for her durable handwoven nets. While her dockhouse centered on net-weaving and storage, her family’s fish catch was routed through the Arla Town Market and bulk sales to the Funkenberg Fishfactory. All net repairs and rope sales were conducted collectively at Tiller & Net Fishing Supplies, never directly from her dockhouse.

The dockhouse was destroyed during the Great War, when the Alliance of Native Tribes raided and burned down Arla Town as a whole.

• Construction Material: Wood with canvas awning, stone stilts
• Dock: Short pier with net-drying frames
• Interior: Looms for ropework, barrels of hemp, hearth stove

• Net Looms (2): For weaving
• Drying Yard: Nets stretched on wooden frames
• Boat Slip: Skiff *Silver Thread* moored outside
• Storage: Hemp coils, rope barrels, resin jars
• Living Corner: Cot, loom table, shrine to ancestors

• Master Fisherwoman: Lira Kaelen
• Apprentices (2): Assisted in net-making (work tied to cooperative)

Kaelen’s dockhouse was filled with the steady rhythm of weaving, the air heavy with hemp fibers and resin. In the perpetual twilight of the Asari Region, nets hung like curtains, their shifting shadows cast by the muted glow of lanternlight. The atmosphere was quiet

• Operating Hours: 05:00 – 17:00
• Community Role: Contributed nets to the cooperative and fish to Market and Factory

• Arrange fish deliveries via Market/Factory
• Apprentice under Kaelen (through the cooperative)

• Forge cooperative logs to siphon net profits
• Smuggle contraband hidden in rope coils

Kaelen’s nets tied the Quarter together — but her dockhouse itself was not a shop. Plot hooks should tie to the cooperative (net supply sabotage, bookkeeping fraud) or her role as a respected craftswoman.

• The Cut Net – Sabotage of Kaelen’s nets leads to failed fish deliveries to the Market. PCs must find the saboteur before hunger spreads.
