ELIRA DAHN’S DOCKHOUSE

Overview

  • Location: Industrial Ring, Arla Town
  • Address: NW Industrial Ring Road 7
  • Surroundings: Located in Arla Town's “Fishermen's Quarter”, adjacent to the banks of Lake Arla and nearby the Funkenberg Fishfactory.

Elira Dahn, one of the youngest fishers, specialized in lantern fishing — using bright lamps in the perpetual twilight of Lake Arla to draw shoals toward surface nets. The method was Quantum Fusion Battery-intensive but effective. All catches moved either through the Arla Town Market or in bulk to the Funkenberg Fishfactory. Gear and repairs were handled at Tiller & Net Fishing Supplies.

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

Look and Feel

The dockhouse glowed in the Habitual Belt’s twilight; lanterns swayed on iron hooks, their reflections trembling across dark water. The tang of lamp oil mingled with fresh-caught scales. Nets shimmered in the lamplight, turning Elira’s mooring into a small beacon along the shore.

Public Access, Operating Hours & Operational Rhythm

  • Operating Hours: 05:00 – 18:00 (peak activity during calm-water periods)
  • Delivery Rhythm: Catches routed promptly to Market/Factory—no retail at the dock
  • Community Role: Reliable supplier; occasional lighting expertise for expeditions

Player Interactions

  • Charter Elira for a lantern-lit survey run on Lake Arla
  • Coordinate delivery timing with Arla Town Market / Fishfactory intake
  • Consult on lighting setups for field expeditions

Illegal

  • Siphon lantern oil to cripple her lure method
  • Use her lamps as covert signal beacons for smuggling
  • Divert part of a catch before Factory tally

Tactical Advice for Dungeon Masters

Elira is ambitious and experimental, making her a natural ally for daring expeditions — or a liability if her oil supply is compromised. PCs may find her a bright point of contact for frontier projects, or the victim of sabotage.

Adventure Hook Example

  • The Darkened Dock – Elira’s lantern oil stores are stolen, crippling her fishing method. PCs must investigate whether it’s petty theft, sabotage by rivals, or a larger Cartel plot to destabilize Arla’s fish supply.
