This poor, friendly, informal Fellowship is run by a
retired fisherman, Aybrauve “Farfisher”, as he was
known of old, who buys fresh fish from fishermen docking
in the harbor. The fishermen themselves (including
the large fleet owned by the Phull noble family) are not
members of this guild. Fishing boats that dock at Seaswealth
Hall’s wharf to load or unload fish are exempted
from the City’s docking fee. Many fishermen never tie up
anywhere else at Waterdeep’s docks, but anchor in the
harbor and swim or ferry ashore, to avoid the fee, beaching
south of the City for repairs. Aybrauve sorts, ices,
and sends their catches (eels, crabs, and fish of all sorts)
to the stalls of various Guild members by means of fish
carts run by his boys, all over the City. The Watch
observes the progress of these carts closely to prevent
theft of the fish from the boys.
Guild members can return spoiled, unsold wares at the
end of the day for 1 cp/bucket. Aybrauve sells these to
the Farmer-Grocers, for fertilizer.
