Shadow Over Fishtown

Something dark lairs nearby.

This modest, but prosperous fishing community of Leywin has been somewhat isolated compared to the other villages and settlements of its type. Neither the local lord or the Crown have taken much of an interest, since their taxes and rents have always been paid on time and without complaint. Life on the port is not really idyllic, but it is a decent enough existence that most of the folk choose to stay for the whole of their lives. Underneath this diligent exterior, something dark stirs; the fishing lodges have slowly grown more insular and church attendance has fallen precipitously over the last decade.

THE FISHER’S LODGE

The primary export of the town and largest source of its wealth is the fish caught from the ocean. As such, most of the community is oriented toward facilitating the continuation of this industry. The Fishermen’s Lodges were founded to provide camaraderie between the fishermen and present an on-ramp for the young men to join this honored profession and be mentored. They each have their own culture and rituals, which have accrued over time owing to building superstitions - though the adoption of such rituals was really more to differentiate one over the other, rather than as any kind of serious religious feeling. This has begun to change since Maelon caught and hauled up the Artifact from beneath the waves.
