Sereth Landing

The Landing is where the inner and southern ferry lines meet, and half of Sereth's island trade crosses its one long quay. It was the island's front door in the old kingdom's day and its lifeline in the onslaught's, when the refugee boats came south and the Landing ran them in through the reefs by lamplight, night after night, for two years. The island's terraces absorbed everyone who landed, which is why half of Sereth's families trace to somewhere else and none of them mention it. The Landing keeps the boats, the tide-tables and the island's long memory, in that order, and its pilots' rutter is the nearest thing the southern water has to scripture.
