The Nentir River flows south through the Upper Quays there are boats moored at the docks with sailors
hard at work loading and unloading cargo. Most seems to be trade goods such as cloth for the market,
produce and even livestock. At the end of the quay a swarthy dwarf (Barstomun) is arguing with some
traders. He seems to be asking for money, and with reluctance the halfling river trader he was speaking
with hands over some coin before signalling to his crew to cast off their barge and pull out from the bank.

Boats proceeding down the Nentir must stop here and offload their cargo, which is then portaged through the town
to the Lower Quays and loaded onto boats below the falls. Likewise, cargo heading in the other direction is carried
up to these quays and loaded aboard boats bound upstream.

A surly dwarf pugilist named Barstomun Strongbeard runs the

porters’ guild, and he takes a cut of any wages paid to labourers
carrying cargo up or down around the falls. Barstomun and his thugs
are trying to extend their reach by intimidating merchants who send
their goods overland and forcing them to hire guild porters for any
cargo handling in town.
