Located at the end of the pier of the harbour of Tasur'ke, the Harbour shop is run by Captain Maelstrom. Larger stock items are sold here, mostly accessories for the ship rather than the sailor.

Wares

Champagne - 100gp
Bright blue glass encases the bubbling alcohol in this long-necked bottle of champagne. Upon the shimmering silver label a large galleon can be seen sailing upon a stormy sea, a gentle glow rising from the mermaid figurehead to guide its course. When the label is turned in just the right light, the date 461 AF appears written across it in a pale green ink.
Ship's axe - 1210gp
Not quite so long as a battle axe nor short as a throwing handaxe, this ship's axe is the perfect size and heft for any shipboard need. The single-sided head has a slight curve to the edge. The first bevel, about a finger's breadth in size, is polished to a high shine. The second bevel's shine almost equals that of the first, though some wear does show there as well. Deep brown to black in the center, and lighter brown elsewhere, the wrap on the handle smells of leather and oil mixed with a bit of sweat.
Ballista dart - 436gp
A weighted stone point is affixed to this thick, sturdy, removable oak foreshaft with a completely hollow interior. Locked into the foreshaft, the main shaft is carved from a thin, flexible wood, smoothly finished beneath the fingertips, and spanning approximately four cubits in length. Elaborate navy blue fletching decorates the exterior of the dart's slightly wider and heavier end where it terminates in a socket-like nock.
Chain-shot - 418gp
Consisting of six links each approximately a foot in length, this extended coil of chain shot glistens with a bristling coat of bolts, spikes, and barbs affixed directly to its surface at every possible juncture. The chain is folded after a fashion, strongly resembling a disjointed fishing pole of immense metallic proportions. A swinging chain of iron six feet long connects the six mercilessly armoured shafts solidly together.
Star-shot - 397gp
Five heavy, flat bands of iron are joined in a star shape, encircling a bundle of rough-cut wooden rods. At each of the five joints is encased a tiny elemental spark, poised for release after the star-shot is in the air to its target, at which point the star will disintegrate, releasing its jagged components upon its victims. The device smells of grease and scorched wood.
Spiked wardisc - 275gp
A circular flat object about two cubits across and a hand's width in thickness, a wardisc has cruel spikes across its flat top and bottom, with a sharp edge around its circumference. Oil and metal smells rise from its irregular surface - all but the edge that is, which is mostly smooth, though with scattered nicks that did not come all the way out during sharpening.
Large flags - 500gp
Made of a heavy canvas, this flag is no less than five feet long. The cloth is durable and thick, allowing it to better weather the elements. No colours or patterns adorn the surface of the flag, which is dyed <colour>.
These come in a large variety of colours: orange, white, black, purple, yellow, green, violet, red, silver, gold and blue.
