Dockhand Maren

Dockhand Maren
Role
Location	The Shores — the 11-tile dock on the north side of the buoy line
Services	Sells fishing rods, bait, and the Wooden Raft. Trades raw/cooked catch up the bait ladder.
Dialogue	"Rods, bait, and a fair price on both. Everything past the buoys runs bigger and meaner — you'll want the sturdy rod before you try it. Or bring me your catch and I'll trade you up."

Dockhand Maren runs the Fishing shop on the pier at The Shores. Her 11-tile dock reaches ten tiles out to sea on the north side of the buoy line — the deck is fully walkable (including straight through Maren herself) and is required to reach the far Tuna water that no cast from the sand alone can touch.

The Shores is a paid realm: free-to-play accounts can't enter it, so they can't reach Maren.
