Unfortunately it also makes it vulnerable to periodic sea monster attack. The ships that sail here used to be well-maintained, well-equipped, and owned by explorers, merchants, and folks of leisure all looking for something on the sea. That was before King Fred croaked.<br/><br/>Now, Hexville's Docks are largely overrun with pirates and criminals, and the self-appointed Dockmistress makes no secret of the fact that she's one of them. One must be very bold, very tough, or both to survive here.<br/><br/><em>The sailor and people of the docks are much more stylish of late, the influence of Chevis the Chic felt as it is not unusual to see one's ensemble critiqued as much as one's weapons!</em><br/><br/><em>The work of Alwyn, who has tried very hard to bring order back to the Docks, has not gone unappreciated, with a renewed sense of community and spirit noticeable in many places!</em><br/><br/><em>In the spirit of Shanira, many of the old guards have turned back from pirating and dug their old uniforms out, and now patrol to keep the docks safe rather than loot them!</em><br/><br/><em>The ship of captain Selevahn the Sensational has been permitted to dock in a rather prestigious spot, due to the rising stature of the captain! ... or at least it was until it sailed off!</em><br/><br/><hr/><br/><em>Special Rules:</em><br/><br/>None currently!<br/><br/><hr/><br/><em>Aspirant Status:</em><br/>- Alwyn is EMINENT<br/>- Chevis the Chic is PROMINENT<br/>- Niles the Nerdist is ESTABLISHED<br/>- Kieri is ESTABLISHED<br/>- Shanira Treyan is CONTESTING CONTROL
