Four Famous Fishin' Holes in Outer World (Setting)

Last blog entry we talked about fishing - it seems appropriate to talk a bit about a few Fishing Sites for this one. Discussed here are some storied places to cast your rod in every corner of Outer World.

The Pearlescent Pond (Murk)
  • In one of the many hidden glades of Outer World's greatest forest there lies a shining lake, one with water as white as milk. It is overseen by a duchess in pale robes and her attendants. Fish swim in these waters just as one might expect of any pond, but they have less room than one might think for the duchess is cultivating something called a "moon" below its surface.
  • Anyone going to a fishing site in a forest of any kind has a 1 in 10 chance of coming across the Pearlescent Pond instead (a 1 or 20 on a die roll). While it is unlikely the Duchess in White will speak to them, occasionally she sends an attendant their way to let them know something personally important to them. They will find themselves back from whence they came upon leaving the pond.
Bluefoam Beach (Galvanus Archipelago) 
  • Famed for it's beautiful waters, killer waves, and bountiful fish, Bluefoam is considered the place for rest and relaxation by many Outer Worlders. Oddly enough, it owes its serene, pristine nature to an old curse whose origin is a mystery: any attempts to settle on or near the beach always results in a strange disaster destroying the property.
  • Characters who opt Socialize at Bluefoam Beach rather than fish gain the benefit of a Relaxing Recreational Attraction. 
The Deynali River (Blazing Garden)
  • One the largest rivers in Outer World, the Deynali runs through much of the Blazing Garden. Traveling along it allows you to get to either end of the Sol Alliance on top of providing ample opportunities for fishing. It remains a favorite pathway of merchants and other travelers making their way through the continent.
  • The Deynali is protected by an immense, ancient fish god named Belugosh. She can emerge anywhere along the river regardless of said size and is known to reward those who manage to catch a razormouth in her waters.
The Secret Sea (Lost Crystal) 
  • Hidden away in the Buried Kingdom, the Secret Sea is a quiet, meditative spot for the reclusive inhabitants of Lost Crystal, a place for them to come and whittle time away. While protective of the place, they never begrudge anyone who shows up just wanting to fish.
  • The wreckage of something lies in the center of the Secret Sea. The only thing most people know about it is that it's old, perhaps older than Outer World itself. The Unterkin of Lost Crystal refuse to talk about it as a rule.
