	These private docks are built in [[Redoubt#Cargo\|Cargo]], not far from the [[Redoubt#The_Embassies_of_Cargo\|Jarmish and Sarcophan embassies]]. They were built with the aid of the [[Asavean Archipelago\|Asavean]] architect [[Those_who_worship#Almodin_Okt.C3.ADstis.2C_Priest_of_the_Builder\|Almodin Oktístis]] who was approached to design 'in keeping with [[Urizen\|Urizeni]] style' by [[Senator]] [[Kallavesa]]. The original design included a number of statues and decorations referencing the false gods of the Asavean religion. Following the Spring Equinox 383YE, the docks were somewhat damaged by a mob of angry citizens riled up by the Imperial Synod. The statues and mosaics were torn out, smashed, and the remains repurposed as ballast for ships visiting Cargo. Fortunately, this coincided with a Senate plan to redesign the works of Almodin Oktístis. These events are covered in more detail [[383YE_Summer_Solstice_winds_of_fortune#Wrecking_Ball\|here]].

	Then in late 386YE, the docks were [[Redesign Pallas Docks\|redesigned and refurbished]] again, as part of the agreement with the deBruin family. They Still take the form of a number of long piers and jetties that extend the available space at the cargo docks, along with a series of dedicated cranes for lifting the wares to the town proper. Notable features include a series of lights mounted on towers at the ends of the piers to guide ships in made to look like miniature Urizeni Spires; and a gorgeous fresco in the main warehouse depicting Urizen mages in their spires watching the arrival of the first Highborn ships. On the shore at the base of the quays stands a sturdy three metre stone statue of a bear, standing on its hind legs.

	Almost directly above the docks, in the town proper, is a small enclave for use by the visiting ~~DeBruin~~ merchants. It consists of two residential buildings, one of which includes a small office, and two large warehouses for storing the weirwood prior to its transfer to the civil service (who issue the Factor with bourse paperwork as normal). Originally designed for the use of Jarmish princes, the Sarcophan merchant-mercenaries have gutted the place and redecorated it more in keeping with the style of the Delves.

	The docks are for the exclusive use of merchants and traders dispatched by the deBruin family, who bring regular shipments of weirwood for sale to the Prime factor. Bastien ~~Debruin~~ and his family, cousins of the current holder of the [[Founders_of_the_Delves#The_Bear\|Seat of the Bear]] at the Beggar's Feast, are known for their martial prowess. They deal with the protection of their ships in-house, and if anything seem to relish the opportunity to repel pirates, taking their loot and vessels from them and throwing any pirate who doesn't immediately surrender into the sea in the process. As such they are unconcerned with the Asavean bounty placed on ships trading with the Empire.

	~~Today~~, the Pallas Docks ~~have changed only a little~~. They Still take the form of a number of long piers and jetties that extend the available space at the cargo docks, along with a series of dedicated cranes for lifting the wares to the town proper. Notable features include a series of lights mounted on towers at the ends of the piers to guide ships in made to look like miniature Urizeni Spires; and a gorgeous fresco in the main warehouse depicting Urizen mages in their spires watching the arrival of the first Highborn ships.		Then in late 386YE, the docks were [[Redesign Pallas Docks\|redesigned and refurbished]] again, as part of the agreement with the deBruin family.

Notable features include a series of lights mounted on towers at the ends of the piers to guide ships in made to look like miniature Urizeni Spires; and a gorgeous fresco in the main warehouse depicting Urizen mages in their spires watching the arrival of the first Highborn ships. On the shore at the base of the quays stands a sturdy three metre stone statue of a bear, standing on its hind legs.

	Almost directly above the docks, in the town proper, is a small enclave for use by the visiting ~~Parnau Principality~~ merchants. It consists of two residential buildings, one of which includes a small office, and two large warehouses for storing the weirwood prior to its transfer to the civil service (who issue the Factor with bourse paperwork as normal).		Almost directly above the docks, in the town proper, is a small enclave for use by the visiting DeBruin merchants. It consists of two residential buildings, one of which includes a small office, and two large warehouses for storing the weirwood prior to its transfer to the civil service (who issue the Factor with bourse paperwork as normal). Originally designed for the use of Jarmish princes, the Sarcophan merchant-mercenaries have gutted the place and redecorated it more in keeping with the style of the Delves.

	The docks are for the exclusive use of merchants and traders dispatched by the ~~Magician-Prince of Pӓrnau Principality (in Eastern Jarm)~~, who bring regular shipments of ~~incredibly valuable~~ weirwood ~~from~~ the ~~distant nation~~. ~~Stories are already circulating~~ of ~~a deal secured between Lord-Magister Anton Trescher (~~the ~~main advisor to the Jarmish Princes on trade and Imperial matters) and~~ the [[~~Grendel~~]] ~~to leave these~~ ships and their ~~valuable cargo alone - yet it must also be noted that~~ the ~~merchant vessels invariably arrive~~ with ~~an escort of sleek, Jarmish warships~~.		The docks are for the exclusive use of merchants and traders dispatched by the deBruin family, who bring regular shipments of weirwood for sale to the Prime factor. Bastien Debruin and his family, cousins of the current holder of the [[Founders_of_the_Delves#The_Bear\|Seat of the Bear]] at the Beggar's Feast, are known for their martial prowess. They deal with the protection of their ships in-house, and if anything seem to relish the opportunity to repel pirates, taking their loot and vessels from them and throwing any pirate who doesn't immediately surrender into the sea in the process. As such they are unconcerned with the Asavean bounty placed on ships trading with the Empire.
