A Breath of Fresh Fog

Barnaby 'Barnacles' Thorne is looking for a new pair of hands to help with the morning harvest. The mists are particularly thick today, and the Mist-Merchants are clamoring for a fresh supply of Mist-Salt.

Narrative Context

This quest introduces the player to the verticality of Sky-Pier Pier and the basic mechanics of the Mist-Dredging profession. It highlights the danger of the "creeping magic" through the encounter with a Stalker.

Branching Points

• The Moral Choice: If the player harvests more than requested, the mist-merchants will offer a bonus, but Barnaby will warn about "thinning the veil" (impacting Moral Tapping).

Design Notes

The dredging nodes should be placed precariously near the edge of the platforms to emphasize the height and danger of the Reach.
