	Riverside is the section of the wharves dedicated to serving the river traffic and local sailors. It is also the point for transfer of goods from ocean-going vessels to river boats and barges. The entire waterfront area has a chip on its shoulder. To a Riversider, the ocean sailors are superstitious fools, while the land-lubbers are confined and cosseted. The only life is on a boat, and the only way to make a living is by putting one over on the stupid. Most Riversiders smuggle as a matter of course, to avoid duties and excise, to annoy the harbour officials, or simply to get their loads faster so they can cast off sooner. The wider range of services available to foreign sailors aren't required ~~â€“~~ taverns, brothels and changers meet most of their needs, and the Bazaar, just in from the wharves, sells the rest of their desires.
