Page 9 transcript

Location: Cael · Free Port

Narration: Beyond Saltmere’s long shoals stood Cael. It stayed outside Asterion’s charter, especially when taxes were discussed.

Visual description: Crowds read notices along a harbor street beneath towers, cranes and bridges. A woman on the quay shakes hands with a man aboard a ship.

Narration: Marriage, cargo and old arguments kept it tied to the islands.
