Upriver from Gravesend Harbor, where the Blackwater River runs fast enough to turn wheels, the mills and factories of Blackwater Reach run day and night. The money that keeps the Drowned Coast going is made here, and the men who make it are rarely seen.
What everyone knows
- The mills employ half the town. Shifts are long, and accidents are common.
- The river is dark, and the locals say it gets darker every year.
- The company towns on the outskirts have their own stores, their own police, and their own rules.
- The rail line passes through on its way inland to Ashgrove.
Rumors
- One mill hasn’t stopped running in decades, not even for holidays. Nobody knows what it makes.
- Workers who complain to the union disappear more often than workers who don’t.
