VARRO DENIK’S DOCKHOUSE

• Location: Industrial Ring, Arla Town
• Address: NW Industrial Ring Road 10
• Surroundings: Located in Arla Town's “Fishermen's Quarter”, adjacent to the banks of Lake Arla and nearby the Funkenberg Fishfactory.

Varro Denik was known for hauling bulk catches using drag-nets across wider stretches of Lake Arla. His dockhouse served as a staging point for these large operations, though all processing and distribution still went through the Arla Town Market and the Funkenberg Fishfactory.

His dockhouse was destroyed in the Great War when the Alliance of Native Tribes burned Arla Town.

• Construction Material: Heavy wood and stone foundation
• Dock: Broad pier with winch and rope pulleys
• Interior: Storage for large nets and barrels

• Boat Slip: Wide barge *Catchlord*
• Drag-Net Storage: Heavy nets coiled in piles
• Winch Corner: Manual pulleys for hauling
• Living Space: Hammock, stove, logbook

• Master Fisherman: Varro Denik
• Crew (3): Helped manage drag-nets

The dockhouse smelled of tarred rope and brine. Nets hung in thick coils like sleeping serpents, and in the twilight, lanterns gleamed across water-stained timbers. The creak of ropes and winches lent the space a heavy, mechanical rhythm.

• Operating Hours: 03:00 – 16:00
• Delivery Rhythm: Large hauls landed irregularly in bulk
• Community Role: High-volume supplier to Market/Factory

• Hire crew for large-scale trawling expeditions
• Coordinate bulk deliveries with Fishfactory intake
• Arrange access to surplus fish for expeditions

• Hide contraband inside bulk crates
• Pay crew to falsify weights in Market ledgers
• Sabotage drag-nets to cause supply disruption

Varro’s dockhouse is perfect for intrigue around bulk logistics: his large crews, winches, and storage create natural entry points for smuggling or sabotage.

• The Missing Haul – A full drag-net of fish vanishes during a routine delivery. PCs must discover if it was stolen, lost in the lake, or sold off secretly.
