The wood used to make the dock is of highest quality, commissioned from trees that stand towering in the local forests. Despite time having passed it has been taken care of to the point where even a hint of warping from the water beneath will have a plank torn and replaced within a night.
Dock, Lake
court wizard
fisherman
This kingdom is an island. Fishing is the main source of animal food here. I inherited my father's boat when he left the sea. It's hard work, and as a shipowner, working only for myself and my family, I am luckier than most. I've probably replaced every piece of my ship at least once.
Wizard, can you help me find my day's bounty please? I am a great wizard. What do you have for me to give you such a spell. Maybe you could brag about how much you help poor fishermen to the ladies? I have no need. I always have plenty of ladies. Do you anything of value? ......fish. You seem to have much courage or stupidity to speak to me that way. Maybe uh, take that wand and turn it around on yourself someday? I have work to do. You have impressed me, Fisherman. I will give you this rope. It is a magic rope. Oh thank you, thank you so much. Will it catch me the biggest fish in the ocean? Stand at the end of the dock and hold the rope down. The fish will climb out of the water into your bucket. I am grateful beyond words. We will name our son after you, wizard. What is it? My name can not be given. I shall come to you one day for a favor, you will then repay me.
