	The ports of the town Kostjyas Respite were refurbished by an [[384YE_Autumn_Equinox_Senate_sessions#Kostjyas_Respite\|announcement]] from Kostjya of the Wulfen Reavers, [[Bearer of an Imperial Wayleave]]. during the Autumn Equinox 384YE, following an [[opportunity]] presented during the [[Thousands_or_more#A_New_Port\|Winter Solstice]] of 383YE.

	There were plenty of Varushkan settlers keen to see a port on the Ossium shore. When the Senate commissioned Kostjyas Respite, they were eager to establish a town to support it. From that town, materials and goods could be imported and sent out into [[Ossium#Galath Fields\|Galath Fields]] and [[Ossium#Nearweald\|Nearweald]], making it a lot easier to build and expand the Varushkan vales established there.

	Completing the port removed the ''under-developed'' quality from the region, making all future commissions across the whole territory that much cheaper. In theory, it should also have created new opportunities, to expand the docks at [[Semmerholm#Lacre\|Lacre]] in [[Semmerholm]]; at [[Karov#Korotny\|Korotny]] in [[Karov]]; and at [[Karsk#Ivarsgard\|Ivarsgard]] in [[Karsk]]. There was even talk of the possibility to creating a similar dock in Misericorde or [[Holberg#Utterlund\|Utterlund]], allowing the wealth of [[Holberg]] to spread across the Semmerlak. Unfortunately, around the same time the port was ~~complteed~~ the [[Varushkan_Monster#Sovereigns\|sovereign]] [[Dho'uala]] [[Underwater sunshine\|awoke in the Semmerlak]]. So far, Kostjyas Respite has not been significantly molested by the underwater horror. How long that will be the case remains to be seen.

	The town itself is a typical Varushkan port, surrounding a fine docks. The quays are [[Varushka_hearth_magic#Wards\|warded]]; each support post has a Varushkan shield nailed to it, lacquered and painted with a labyrinth design intended to make monsters become lost and confused if they try to approach. A thin silver chain runs the length of the entire shoreline within the town, each post carved to represent a glowering bearded face - ~~modeled~~ on ~~Kostiya~~ himself - that peer out across the waters. In the middle of the docks stands the hall of the Merchant Boyar of the Bittershore, which serves as a small armoury as well.		The town itself is a typical Varushkan port, surrounding a fine docks.
