Cold Hold Sea-Cliff Berths
Overview
Cold Hold Sea-Cliff Berths is a cliff-cut port on an unregistered dwarf hold in the Cold Hold system. Hulls dock in stone slots with heat-curtains at the mouth; foundry smoke and cold fog sit outside. A rite-hall district of black stone and long tables sits upslope from the berths. Dock-reeves read standing from debt-clan, guild-honor, and hold-kin beads, then check who an arriving hull carries and what they owe.

- occupantSummary
- Tens of millions of hold dwarves; hold-reeves and dock clerks; foundry and market crews; Halda Stone-Braid at the rite-hall; the odd kin-carrying hull
- hazards
- A residual bond claim that can lawfully hold your passenger at the dock; strict hold honor-law with no Concord appeal; a gift or word given wrong that shames the crew; cold dense weather outside the curtains
- connections
- Concord gate one hop to Hardfell Core (then Khesret); one anonymous lane; fuel skim off four gas giants
- travelNote
- Land in a cliff-cut heat-curtained berth; clear the reeve's dock-desk before the rite-hall; the hold-moot chambers are where a disputed claim goes if it can't be settled dockside

- Cold Hold's hold-moot and iron courts; debt-clan and Guild-honor kin; Hardfell League cousins at the Core; a Concord gate the hold never filed with
