The Citadel of the Dead Queen, Black Rock is the island off of the eastern coast of Falyndar. Mythic and mysterious, few know what truly inhabits it. [Lore]
The Ocean's Harvest is Black Rock's fishmongers. Like many of the other buildings on Black Rock, it is white and appears to be one-level from the outside, resembling a tomb.
Run by Coria and Laurent Dawson, the Ocean's Harvest prides itself on supporting local industry. They buy from local fishermen as well as Charodaen merchants. If it can be found in the sea, it can usually be found here. The fresh selection usually changes from day to day, depending on the catch and what comes in - the waters are famous for being unpredictable about what they will offer up. Salted, pickled, smoked, and dried fish in a number of varieties are available. Crab, lobster, shellfish, and plenty varieties of fish, white and oily alike. Coria is usually the one behind the glass counters.

The NPCs
Secret :
Laurent Dawson: Owner A Black Rock native, Laurent is a big fan of fish.. but he was never particularly good at fishing with a rod and reel. However, one doesn't need to catch the fish to be good at handling them once they're out of the water, and so he started the Ocean's Harvest. It meant a uniform price and more security, and this suited the fisherfolk just fine - they could sell their wares to him, whether he sold them or not, it was out of their hands. He is married to Coria, who helps him with preparing the fish for sale and helping customers.
Coria Dawson: Owner Coria likes to think of herself as an artist of fish. Her tools are the fish and a lot of knives. While other women might have complained about working with fish all day, Coria embraced it because it meant she could happily stab things with very sharp knives and it was perfectly acceptable. Or so Laurent likes to joke, anyway. But if a customer needs a certain cut, Coria's the woman to see.
