BRENNA SOLVIK’S DOCKHOUSE
Overview
- Location: Industrial Ring, Arla Town
- Address: NW Industrial Ring Road 5
- Surroundings: Located in Arla Town's “Fishermen's Quarter”, adjacent to the banks of Lake Arla and nearby the Funkenberg Fishfactory.
Brenna Solvik was respected for her knowledge of Lake Arla’s currents and weather patterns. She trained fishers to “read the water” and often piloted boats through treacherous shallows. Her own catch was modest but steady, always routed through the Arla Town Market or sold in bulk to the Funkenberg Fishfactory. All gear maintenance and net repairs were handled collectively at Tiller & Net Fishing Supplies.
The dockhouse was destroyed during the Great War, when the Alliance of Native Tribes raided and burned down Arla Town as a whole.

Look and Feel
The dockhouse carried the scent of damp parchment and charred wood. In the perpetual twilight, lanterns threw a soft glow across pinned maps, their inked lines tracing hidden currents and sandbars. Brenna’s careful annotations and weather journals gave the place a quiet, authoritative mood.

Player Interactions

Tactical Advice for Dungeon Masters
Brenna can serve as a cautious ally, teaching PCs how to navigate Lake Arla safely — or as a reluctant conspirator forced to guide smugglers. Her charts can be plot devices, whether stolen, forged, or hidden.
Adventure Hook Example
- The Stolen Maps – Brenna’s depth charts are stolen before a major expedition. PCs must track down the thieves, who may be smugglers planning to use her knowledge to bypass Guarding Trooper patrols.
