Oak Harbor Docks Reconstruction Plan
After the unfortunate incident with the magmyriad at the most recent gather, the city’s docks are severely damaged. This effect will be felt most keenly in what options are on offer to local merchants and the benefits of our trade routes. It will also affect the frequency and variety of ships and visitors to our town. However, rest assured that the White Forest Trading Company has the resources and resilience to come back from this significant blow. Without additional assistance, we anticipate having the docks returned to their full operational capacity by the first Fall Gather of 825. There is a possibility that within that time, our trade route partners will seek to end our agreements. We will do all within our power to avoid that.
We welcome the following assistance:
- 250 Leaf to cover purchasing lumber from nearby lumber yards, allowing the WFTC to put more of their lumber yard production towards the project without reneging on existing agreements.
- Townsfolk taking time from their regular between gather affairs to assist with the dock
- A work day where the whole community assists in the reconstruction of the docks lead by prominent leaders
- Negotiation with our existing trade partners, reassuring them that this project is being well managed and we will swiftly be able to send/receive the full quantity of goods promised.
Thank you to the Town Militia and the citizens of Oak Harbor for your defense of the town. Without such efforts, the damage would surely have been worse.

OOG Clarifications
Effects
- Merchant Lots will be more expensive. Some items will not be available.
- Town wide trade route benefits are not available, although the funding for town jobs remains available.
- No new trade routes (inbound or outbound) can be finalized until the docks are fixed.
- Trading partners may withdraw from agreements if too much time passes
How to Fix It
WFTC owns the docks and will be able to fix them by themselves by Fall 1 825. PCs can speed up the process by completing the items below. Each item makes the docks fixed one gather sooner.
- 250 Leaf to cover the cost of diverting lumber from trade to this project
- PCs can devote BGS skills to “repairing the docks” instead of their usual purpose. If PCs devote 60 CP of BGS skills, that will provide a gather’s worth of repair work
- Completion of a mod where the town helps rebuild parts of the dock.
Finally, negotiation with our existing trade partners will not speed up the timeline on when the docks are repaired, but will maintain the trade routes while the docks are being repaired and therefore the trade routes are unable to run at their full capacity. The White Forest Trading Company will be able to provide some of this, but escalating amounts of negotiation will be required as the repairs drag on.
