Ravens Bluff/Seaglimpse

Seaglimpse was an out-of-the-way neighborhood of Ravens Bluff, located in the Harbor District outside the city wall, whose docks would take in a great number of ships coming in from the Dragon Reach. As it was constantly pounded with rain and wind from storms, vessels would have to chain down to several wharves to avoid being driven to wreck on the shore. Seaglimpse offered little in the way to attract visitors and tourists, unless someone specifically sought the smell of dead fish and the spray of salt water.

To remain vigilant against smuggling and illegal shipping shopping operations, the City Watch maintained regular patrols along the docks. Before such a presence, it was not uncommon to see longshoremen repacking and relabeling cargo and even live slave-auctioning in wide open view.
