Waves are rolling against the coastline. Here the water is turbulent because the eastern ocean, called MORAU HALDRAETH - The sea of sunrise -, and the southern ocean, called MORAU KERMORVEN - The sea of jewels -, meet at this point. The beach continues to the northwest and to the southwest. A large cliff with an enormous lighthouse on his top can be seen to the west. It is now ebb tide. You can leave: southwest, northwest.

A black-spotted neuter seagull and a nasty neuter seagull. < Priests of Rokoon > Arven: He is hidden in the shadows You look at the trimaran 'Winnowing'. This is the trimaran 'Winnowing'. You see a sleek, manoeuverable-looking three hulled ship heavy with sail. The vessel has a very slight draft and it seems to glide wraithlike across the surface of the water. Each of its sails are dyed a shimmering black. You can see some items lying on its deck and eighteen weather-beaten strong male sailors is on board. You look at the trimaran 'Jungle Blood'. This is the trimaran 'Jungle Blood'. This dilapidated trimaran might have once been a sturdy ship, but now it seems to be in shambles. The hull of the ship seems ridden with holes, and large leaves that once decorated the ship seem torn and wilted. The sails of the ship, once displaying a proud Blood-Sun, now hang in faded tatters. It seems the owner of the ship must have abandoned it on the beach to rot away. You can't see anything on board. < Priests of Rokoon > Arven: He is here Kish reveals himself. You nod. Kish nods. You look much stronger than Kish. Kish looks much more agile than you. You look healthier than Kish. You look up to Kish.
