Overview
The Scorrero Nets are located along the banks of the Scorrero in northernmost Oranseri in the Freeborn territory of Feroz. Custodianship of the Scorrero Nets grants an Imperial title; a seat on the Imperial Bourse; and a seasonal bounty of valuable ilium.
The Resource
A wise Hakima learnt by chance many years ago that the Scorrero carries ilium in its waters, washed from the land and carried towards the sea. Now nets are placed in the water at key points, primarily along the length of the Scorrero that runs through Feroz, to sieve out the precious material before it can be lost forever.
This Bourse position produces 5 rings of Ilium every season.
- Reference water and meteorites
- Reference proximity of Siroc
- The nets presumably also bring up Ilium from the Bay of Catazar rather than just from the river (otherwise they would be further up stream). Possibly it is a place where people who dredge ilium up sell it?
The workers are organised into gangs, with each gang having ownership of a net, and control of a pitch. There are many official pitches along the banks of the Scorrero close to Oranseri, but further up the river where the pickings are leaner it can seem like open warfare between the net gangs, as well as constant issues between claim jumpers, and wild-catters from Siroc who are considered worst of all.
Claim jumpers and wild-catters are not the only dangers of the river. Throughought its length the Scorrero is wide, deep, and has subtle but strong currents, ready to take the unwary. Many a worker is lost, never mind all the other objects and detritus that get swept into tho river. As a result, other net gangs started to appear, without license to draw in Illium, but able to clear the river of everything but.
