A squat, moss-covered stone river fortress built directly over a primary lock canal, bristling with murder holes and defensive positions.
The Sinking Quays & Rain-Drenched Towpath
A treacherous, mud-slicked riverbank where straining horses drag heavy barges, perfect for a slippery and desperate ambush.

Stranded Merchant Barge & Slick Gangplanks
A flat-bottomed cargo scow violently wedged against the canal quays during a raging storm, offering a precarious and shifting battleground.
The Waterlogged Toll Bridge & Sentry Post
A rain-slicked, multi-arched masonry bridge fortified by an armed barricade, demanding a high toll in coin—or blood.

A hidden, subterranean brick-and-rubble drainage arch bypassing the main toll locks, rapidly filling with rushing stormwater.
The Silted Basin & Punt Mooring
A sheltered backwater basin filled with thick silt, waterlogged reeds, and moored flatboats waiting out the storm.

A desperate struggle unfolds within a muddy trench as a collapsed river embankment threatens to wash away the siege works. Rain pours into the sapping lines, creating a hazardous battleground.
The Sinking Shanty Ferry Slip
A perilous and ramshackle rope-ferry station clinging to the muddy banks of a raging, rain-swept river.
Gibbet Point & River Gallows
A bleak, windswept mud spit downstream from the fortress where iron cages and rotting gibbets hang over the torrential current.
