t this point you feel that you have to interject: "Why then is there no harbour at the coast? Would this not stop the sea people at the beach?"
Sir Brannaghast doesn't think about your question for a second before answering with great fervour: "That is because the sea people are vile! If they emerge from their dark waters you will not see them before it is too late. That is why we keep a distance between our town walls and the ocean waters!"
