This two story building has access gates on the top floor, allowing goods to be hoisted up or down directly from the water. Floating markets are open inside, allowing live goods to remain fresh, in the water and for a fresh breeze to keep the air breathable. Read the rest of this entry »

Day to day, most River Folk use small coracles to move around a River Town, keeping the guild of Coracle Makers extremely busy with orders for new coracles and repairs (though most River Folk are able to do simple repairs themselves) This shop on the water includes two rooms - one a simple storage room where the maker’s apprentice also happens to sleep, and the other a formal work room. Some small comforts are here, including a stove for not only heating the natural saps and tars used in coracle building, but also for meals of the master and apprentice. Double doors lead to a landing, where new coracles are available for sale. A part of River Town Volume 1. Read the rest of this entry »

Most River Folk live in small dwellings, built up river where forest wood is plentiful, then moved seasonally. Each house has an extended bridge to the boardwalk, and room around the edges to tie up visiting corracles or other larger vessels. Inside, there are two rooms. One is devoted to a cooking and living area, whereas the back room is where the occupants sleep. The raft and raft bases are also usable as foundations or decking. A part of River Town Volume 1.
