North Channel Shipbreakers Yards

The heart of Nurem's shipwrighting industry, the North Channel Shipbreakers Yards stretch across the North Channel of the River Olga at the point where it meets the sea. Locks allow the water level to be lowered and raised while workers crawl over the hulls of ships in production. Vast buildings on the south side of the yards contain ships ready to be launched while on the north side, warehouses and equipment are stored.   The yards are one of the few enterprises in the city not managed by one of the Four Lords, but rather than the Administration of the Four Lords - in other words, all of the four have joint ownership in its operation, and the Administration is typically not micromanaged by any of the four, who prefer to leave it up to the middle men.   As Pallas' only coastal city, Nurem created a fleet worthy of a kingdom. But the armada was burned at the climax of the war. Now the yards build ships to make trade, not war... though the potential is never truly gone.
