Blowing the magical horns equipped there also sounds the larger horn located in the city. Different signals give early warning to the port on ships closing in on the port.
 * The Corsairs' Docks. The private docks of the Skaug Corsairs, seperated from the main docks of the island.

The mannor consists of a main house, stables, servents' quarters, guest house, and armory. Each of the buildings is constructed out of stone, a rare building material for the island.
 * Asavir's Launch. A well-kept inn and festhall that started inside of the hull of a beached ship. Additional floors have been built up between the masts.
 * The Apple Barrel. The tavern which specializes in the apple brandy distilled at the attached Appleheart Distillery.
 * The Crossbows. A three-story gambling hall, boarding house, and festhall.
 * The Keelhul. A popular tavern with no-nonsense clientele. Troublemakers are seized by bouncers and patrons and thrown into a central well that magically propels them out of the building and into the harbor nearly 20 feet away.
 * The Gibed Sail. A filthy tavern with worse drinks.
