−	One curious flavor to the city are the local tales of frg-men living under the docks. Quite a number of Ghyllians have said that late at night they have seen strange flashings and heard odd bells and tinkerings offshore of the port. Though the work of the dockmen continues into the night, and not a few illicit transactions therein occur as well, it has been these very same workers who have complained of ~~wierd~~ shapes rising from the sea, of foreigners coming in without boats, with wet stained carapaces and strange elongated faces. Most call this a fear tactic of the back marketeers, but others note that it has been a number of supposed back marketeers who have given up the business and moved inland after only a few short months on the docks. Though odd, though eerie, though potentially nefarious in nature and spirit, the work of the dock does goes on.	+	One curious flavor to the city are the local tales of frg-men living under the docks.
