Pin Reach Basalt Berths
Overview
Pin Reach Basalt Berths is a port cut into black basalt on Pin Reach. Ships dock in heat-curtained berths; a guild-dock district of black-stone halls sits above them. Hold-wardens read standing from debt-clan pins at the dock-desk and grant or refuse survey-chart permits before any upload.

- scale
- basalt sea-cliff port + guild-dock district of an uncharted peopled hold — heat-curtained berths, pin-register halls, hold-moot chambers
- tone
- A-class docks on a world the chart calls empty — real coffee and a straight welcome if you ask before you upload
- senses
- Thin cold air lit from below by forge-glow, heat-curtain roar, sea-stew and hot metal, pins clicked against beadwork as standing is read aloud
- occupantSummary
- Hundreds of millions of hold dwarves; hold-wardens and dock clerks; belt-skiff crews; Braka Hold-Pin at the warden's desk; the odd first-chart hull
- hazards
- Unauthorized survey upload treated as sovereignty violation; extremely strict hold honor-law with no Concord appeal; a gift or word given wrong that shames the crew; thin-atmosphere exposure outside the curtains
- connections
- Concord gate one hop to Hardfell Core (then Khesret); two anonymous spur lanes; belt skiffs for local fuel and ore
- travelNote
- Land in a basalt heat-curtained berth; clear the warden's dock-desk before any chain upload; hold-moot chambers settle disputes if the crew and warden can't agree dockside
- factionTies
- Pin Reach'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
