Canton's Landing

Canton's Landing was a small fishing settlement named by Traveller along the west coast of Stratem on the White Sea. The settlement was composed of a loose scattering of straw-roofed huts and goat pens sandwiched between the coast and farm fields that were cut out of the forest. Nearby was a "slumped moat and ancient burned-down palisade overlooking the tidal flats" leading to the ocean. The beach was a line of black gravel.Return of the Crimson Guard, Book 1 Chapter 2, UK PB p.78Return of the Crimson Guard, Book 2 Chapter 1, UK PB p.279 
The village's headman was dead, and it was now loosely run by his nephew.Return of the Crimson Guard, Book 1 Chapter 2, UK PB p.78 The village was also home to Hrath, a young boy with a strong Talent for reading the Deck of Dragons.Return of the Crimson Guard, Book 1 Chapter 3, UK PB p.115-116 
The village was periodically attacked by "grey raiders" from the sea, and pieces of their equipment could be found mouldering on the beach.Return of the Crimson Guard, Book 2 Chapter 1, UK PB p.82 
The forest outside the village was filled with the ghosts of the Crimson Guard who were gathering in anticipation of the end of the Diaspora.Return of the Crimson Guard, Book 1 Chapter 4, UK PB p.185-186 
== In Return of the Crimson Guard==
Traveller and Ereko found their way to Canton's Landing after escaping the Stormwall. Traveller needed assistance in building a boat and agreed to stay with the villagers to resolve their problem with the "grey raiders." When the raiders arrived, Traveller slew all but the young witch Sorrow.Return of the Crimson Guard, Book 1 Chapter 4, UK PB p.160-162 
Ereko consulted with the young Hrath for surprising answers about the future for himself and Traveller.Return of the Crimson Guard, Book 1 Chapter 3, UK PB p.115-116 
Almost as soon as the boat was completed, Traveller and Ereko interrupted an attempt to steal it by the Crimson Guard deserters, Kyle, Stalker, Badlands, and Coots. But the six quickly worked out an agreement and left together that night.Return of the Crimson Guard, Book 2 Chapter 4, UK PB p.279-282
