At some point, characters may need to moor their ship somewhere that isn’t in a settlement, and here are ten different places to do so.
- A small, steep-sided cove that thanks to the surrounding headlands is invisible from the sea and the cliffs are nearly unclimbable from the land.
- An old, crumbling but still viable stone dock sticking out into the sea away from any settlements.
- Cove that can be easily seen from the sea. One of the headlands is noticeably longer than the other, and this headland shelters the cove from the prevailing weather.
- Island that’s located just off the coast that has a small, sheltered bay on the landward side.
- Mouth of a river where it meets the sea, one with a calm flow and easy to moor at banks.
- Sandy beach with a gentle incline and no rocks that’s easy to beach a ship on.
- Sea cave that’s big enough to accept a ship, but only at low tide in most cases, and some will need to step their mast.
- Semicircle of dangerous rocks shelter a small area where a ship can be safely moored.
- Small island consisting of a reef with a single entrance and a sheltered lagoon within.
- Tangle of damaged ships moored at sea that have been positioned so that there is a sheltered spot in the middle of them for another ship.
