THE DOCKS The most common sight for all who either enter or exit Ravok is the area known as The Docks. Although effectively consisting of the entire outer rim of the city, the largest part and most well-known section of The Docks is on the southern side of the city where one of the main canals joins with Lake Ravok. Large plazas line each side of the canal as do docks of various sizes. There are docks for larger trading vessels as well as seemingly countless ravosala's in a variety of colors and designs. The Docks are a place for gathering, be it for commerce, romance, or darker activities. The plazas are surrounded by merchant warehouses, shops, taverns and even housing. Great bridges span the canal and connect the two main plazas of The Docks, The Nitrozian Plaza and the Plaza of Dark Delights. The Nitrozian Plaza The Nitrozian Plaza is named after the merchant who owns most of it, Sitanos Nitrozian. It is home to numerous taverns, boarding houses, shops and other forms of business. On the outskirts of the Nitrozian Plaza and lining a variety of small branching canals are the mass housing units of the Nitrozian Housing Commission. After the city was founded and began to grow, it was obvious that housing would soon become an issue. The Nitrozian family of the time devised a way to maximize housing space and created the NHC to solve the problem. The NHC is a series of large buildings each containing a large number of small housing cubicles. These cubicles resemble rooms one may find at an inn and in fact, each NHC building is designed much like a very large inn complete with common room and eating facilities. The rooms are cheap, far from extravagant, but offer citizens a place to live. The Ravokian Shipyard is also located on the lake side of the plaza. 33. Thorin's Forge - A large forge located on the northern side of the docks, dealing in anything non-weapon/armor related. 36. The Soup House - A simple restaurant that sells soup... and only soup. 37. The Healing Hand - A medical center supervised by the Black Sun. 41. The Offices of the NHC - An organisation specialising in inexpensive housing for citizens. 41. Lucillus & Associates - Law and Attorney services for the citizens of Ravok! 45.Tarsin's Boarding House - Specializes in renting rooms out to visitors entering the city. 46. Odds and Ends - A shop dealing in a little bit of everything from food to clothing and all points in between. 51, 53, 55. The Ravokian Shipyard - City-owned shipyard; also monitors traffic on the lake. 59. The Silver Sliver Tavern - A popular tavern for city residents and visitors alike. 60. Sullins Residence - The home of Clyde Sullins The Plaza of Dark Delights The Plaza of Dark Delights is quite the opposite entity compared to the Nitrozian Plaza. The "Dark Delight" as it is commonly referred to is a place where nearly anything can be found for a price. Brothels, slavers, the black market, assassins and criminals of all kinds frequent the Dark Delight. With all of these activities supported and regulated by the Ebonstryfe, individuals partaking in such activities need not fear operating openly in the plaza. The danger comes when someone oversteps their bounds and/or is caught interfering with the lives and businesses of those of influence within the city. Although still routine in its occurrence, such a thing incurs deadly repercussions. 31. Tine's Exotic Goods - A shop in the Plaza of Dark Delights dealing in exotic, rare and often illegal goods. 31.
