Bhalkesh

The small town of Bhalkesh, on the coast of Lake Bhalk, is noted for the its fishermen. The fishermen of Bhalkesh are the only ones to hunt the giant sturgeon of Lake Bhalk. Fishing for these immense monsters is a dangerous but profitable business. The giant sturgeon are only found in the coldest and deepest waters. With their tremendous strength and savagery, these fish have destroyed many a fishing boat.
Over the decades, the fishermen of Bhalkesh have developed their methods to a high art. They fanatically guard their secrets - the fishing sites, baits, and other techniques. More than once they have sabotaged nets, holed boats, or encouraged competitors to leave town. They have even gone so far as to hire thugs to deliver their messages.
While all this earnest secrecy may seem overdone, even ridiculous to outsiders, the giant sturgeon are considered rare delicacies in the courts of Suryokha, and even in some parts of Seu Kal. The price of a single fish can provide for the needs of a single family for a year. This is fortunate, since rarely are more than five giant sturgeon brought out of the lake each year.
