Margate Docks

 

The Margate District of the city includes most of the eastern coastline. Harbors, dockyards, and fishing abound. One area in particular is ill suited for coastal habitation, as it is totally exposed to the open ocean - that's where Grunn decided to settle and build an orphanage. Using spare lumber and the remains of his ship, he constructed a haphazard collection of planks, somehow recieved a permit for child care from the city, and now takes in orphans from all over Anduruna. The orphans coincidentally are of great assistance in helping Grunn with his side business, bander fishing. Banders tend to avoid harbors and inlets, as they spend most of their time in underwater rivers that traverse the open ocean. They sometimes move in closer to the coast to feed, and this is where Grunn has the orphans fish. Bander meat is tender and considered a delicacy - despite it's flavor. But first the banders must be removed from their slimy mucous shell. Oddly, Grunn keeps the worthless shells from all the banders - although what he does with them is anybody's guess. It's also a mystery as to what he does with his lucrative bander profits. Rumor is he hoards it like a treasure - but he certainly doesn't use it to benefit the orphanage. In fact, the orphans bunk area doesn't even have walls - it's canvas draped over some dock pylons.
