One of the few official commonly used docks. Despite the current war, both sides still have a steady demand for The Crystal Empire's crystals. It's also one way to get out, or into the empire. We always welcome new additions to The Most Wondrous Place in The World.  |

[Welp, it's happening. Enter Fiona]
It was a relief when the ship captain yelled that they had arrived at their destination. Fiona despises travel by ship, sea sickness and the like.
"'The Most Wondrous Place in the World'. Hello, Crystal Empire." She whispers to herself, chuckling quietly. From the information she got from the N.L.E, the nearest town she should head for is Stoneville. She would most likely find the one they called 'The Green Watchman' there, assuming that he's real.
The woman pulls down her hood, hoping she can get into the country and reach Stoneville as quickly as possible with very little problems.

The crew of the 'Jagged Edge' were just as unpleasant as the name of their ship. They didn't really talk with Fiona much, they just gave her food & drink, then left her alone. There were some other people fleeing The Lunar Empire on the ship as well, though they didn't talk too much either.
The ship docked and a bell above ship was rung.
"All right, everyone off!" The captain ordered from the back of the ship. A bridge was set up by the side of the bridge for all who were planning on leaving to leave.

Fiona gave a lazy salute to the crew of the Jagged Edge (not that they were a nice company) as she strolled down the bridge, looking around for a greeter or immigration officer. First things first, get into the country lega- er...semi-legally.

The others who were on the boat with Fiona walked oddly in unison. One was a male; strong and tall. The other two were women, both ferocious looking.
Each had a sack over one shoulder and wore peasants rags. They walked out of the dock and onto the back of a horse-wagon. They payed the guy and muttered something to him. He nodded and pocketed the crysts.
"Crystal Empire! All aboard for the Crystal Empire! 12 Crysts a ride, all aboard for The Crystal Empire!" He calls out, as some others come and pay him for a ride.

That sounds promising. She heads towards the wagon, rummaging through her satchel for the Crysts required. She waves over wagon, trying to get the guy they paid's attention.
"My good sir! You say you're taking people to the Crystal Empire? Would you happen to be passing through a small town called Stoneville, would you?"

That actually made the driver laugh.
He shook his head when he finished, and waved her off. "You'd have to go down the river for a few days just to reach that town! It's on the other side of the Empire, near the Lunar and Solar!"

"...Oh...W-well is there a stable or a...a Railway nearby? I need to get there relatively quick..." She scratched the back of her neck, obviously very embarrassed for not knowing how far her destination was from where she arrived.

Rubbing a year from his eye, the driver nods with a chuckle.
"Yeah, The Crossing's on our way, seeing as The Crystal City's on the other side o' the River. If ya pay a guard or somethin' I'm sure you'll get a horse. The road from the Crossin's the quickest way to Stoneville."

"I suppose that will have to do. Here." She tosses him the Crysts and starts heading towards where the others entered the wagon.

The wagon was about half full with various immigrants and refugees. It didn't have a top, and actually had some corn husks inside; clearly he doesn't solely transport people.
He called out and got a few more passengers before disembarking to The Crossing.
