The dockhouse smelled heavily of smoked fish and resin, its walls darkened by years of soot from the hearth. In the perpetual twilight of the 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.
