Auginford — Riverside Docks

Riverside Docks

The docks descend in crooked terraces toward the river. MoBrickomerg posts shine with use, cargo nets hang from leaning cranes, and every plank gives a little beneath the weight of the waterlogged town.

The Riverside Docks are where Auginford receives grain, lamp oil, timber, and travelers from downstream. The dockmaster keeps practical records and knows which boats have arrived empty, late, or carrying something no one wants to name.

Services and clues

• Passage: ferry hands can arrange a crossing or a small cargo boat toward the old south road.
• Supplies: rope, tarpaulins, hooks, poles, and waterproof crates are available at ordinary prices.
• Rumor: a barge crew recently found a pane of perfectly clear glass embedded in a river piling.
