	The economic heart of any sea port is the waterfront, and Sanctuary is no exception. The Docks is the starch of wharves that caters to most of the ocean-going vessels that ply their trades between [[Ranke]] and either the baronies and [[Destiny]] to the West, or the [[Five Sisters]], [[Arabie]] and other exotic locations in the far south and east. As the first deep-water port of the Baronies proper, Sanctuary has always held the ~~lionâ€™s~~ share of southern trade. Its relaxed attitude towards oft-restricted foreign goods such as slaves, drugs, and religions, has also helped its popularity.

	The docks is a vibrant, rough, multi-lingual area, full of sailors just arriving or leaving for foreign lands.

Disagreements are usually settled by violence, but fatal injuries are rare.

==Law==
The Docks, rich in so much else, suffers from a paucity of law enforcers. The Pilf have nominal control of the territory, and many of the local businesses are run by Ilsigi, but the ship crews tend to travel in number, rendering small patrols useless or inflammatory.
