The Reed Isle

A low island of reeds and shingle out on Lake Zarovich that nobody fishes near, where the Baron's boat leaves people who were unhappy too loudly (The Baron's Island, docs/story/side_quests.md).

Overview

A low island of reeds and shingle in the black water, a long row from the landing. Smoke, very faint, from somewhere in the middle, and fish drying on lines.

Resting: Risky: a rest here can be interrupted.
