Pictou River, Isle Haute |
by Alaine |
Salsola's easternmost coastline point boasts a small dock extending outward into the bay on a particularly flat section of the beach. The jetty is old, but has been repaired over time by pack members and is currently in a usable state for small to medium sized vessels. With more upgrades planned for the future, it is the Family's hope that eventually, the dock might be in high enough condition to support the arrival of merchant ships trading down the coast from Freetown. Currently, a chain cable extends forth from this dock and is connected to a simple pulley on the far island. The cable sits beneath the water until a vessel seeks to cross. The boat currently used by Salsolans to make the crossing to Isle Haute is a shallow, punt-styled vessel that is operated like a cable ferry.
The dock itself is comprised of two main buildings, one a long storage warehouse that is in moderate condition, and the second a smaller accompanying cottage that has been repaired to suitable quality for any guests or dock-managers. There is a large brass bell on the end of the dock, salvaged from Amherst. When a Salsola member wishes to cross the small straight from the mainland to Isle Haute, s/he need only ring the bell, and The Slave of the Salt will ferry them across on a small makeshift boat. The slave will be in attendance to the individual until they are either dismissed, or the individual is safely returned to Salsola's mainland.
It was discovered and extensively mapped shortly after Salsola was founded, seeing regular Salsolan activity between from summer to late winter of 2011 until it was officially claimed as Salsolan territory.
UPDATED TEXT: A small island, known to Salsolans as Isle Haute, juts bravely into the loch just south of the mainland claim. Visible from the southern shore, it is a stony protrusion that is large enough to hold soil and trees well above the waterline of the loch. Isle Haute features towering bayside bluffs, which offer some protection from the ebbing tide. The mainland coast is slightly more forgiving.
The island is accessible via a dock and chain-pulley boat, which was once operated by the Slave of Salt pre-abolition of the slave rank by Queen Elphaba Revlis in 2018. Isle Haute is off-limits to most Salsolans, presumably due to its nature as a sacred site to the kingdom's Sanctus tier.
