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

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.
This Kingdom wouldn't last a day without fishermen like me. I ought to be treated with more respect.  Respect is only earned at the end of a knife. Quite the hard man aren't you? Do you always act so tough?  Tough?  You can't be weak if you want to survive on the streats. Yes I have heard all that before. Men like to act tough, that is, unless they're in the middle of the ocean and surrounded by sea monsters.  Only a fool would travel the seas with sea monsters in them. I am no fool! It requires actual bravery to do that. Not that you would know, tough guy.  And what would you know of bravery?  All you do is hunt defenseless fish.  I may be a murderer, but at least I'm a vegetarian.  Meat is murder! Oh, settle down will you? No need for those dramatic antics on my Dock. Here, be a man and fish!  I will not partake in your genocide of the seas!  I may be a ruffian, but I still have standards! So be it. Then let me have this sword. It appears you lack the wits to use it.  Then I guess you will be sleeping with the fishes tonight - and they will have their vengeance!
