Episode: Fair winds and waves

Similar shrines to Mangata have been build along the coasts of all the holdings that owe fealty to Grimhall, in the Mourning Isles. None are quite so grand as the statue standing seawatch for Arx, but each family has paid honest and heartfelt tribute to the goddess, and devotions are held in a show of faith and benediction that many in these holdings have felt was missing in recent times. Perhaps it is renewed optimism that causes these holdings to report the sea's bounty far outstripping what it usually offers in the winter. The lobsters, the clams, they seem to cluster at the shores awaiting nets and pots to scoop them up. The waters that spray up onto the beaches and stones and homes seem warmer and gentler.
What is not imagination is the speed with which the ships in these waters are sped along about their business, carrying supplies to shipyards and people to their families, and neighboring islands. The sea feels like home, like the tempestuous but sustaining mother.
