Editing City of Amber (section)

==='''The Marina of North Riding'''===

North Riding has a Harbor district separate from the Harbor of Amber.   It is in the shallows and thus is not suitable for deep draft vessels.  It is called the Marina of North Riding.  It has small craft slots able to house thousands of ships.  Because of this the harbor has many satellite artificial islands or docks.   The waterways often get cramped and the Harbor patrol manages the traffic.  Approaching the city by sea, vessels will be greeted By the Harbor Patrol at a reasonable distance at sea.  

Most people traveling in small vessels try to avoid the Harbor of Amber because of the passage of its great ships.  So many of the smaller ships curve around the Isle of Cabra leaving the eastern shipping lines to make for the Marina.  

There has been a centuries old dispute if the Marina of North riding should be under the control of the Harbor Master of Amber but the Harbor Masters of North Riding have managed to maintain their autonomy. The Marina manages a small fishing fleet, a number of small regional transport shipping lines, and a fair amount of small scale commercial shipping but by no means competes with the larger Harbor of Amber.  Still. the Harbor Masters frequently argue over jurisdiction and the details are complicated.  

===='''Marina Guard'''====
The Marina Guard are a small body of mostly retired soldiers that act to keep the Clemens controlled Harbor Troops out of the Marina region.  While the numbers of the Guard are small they have a large number of "friends" willing to jump in if more troops are needed.  Clashes with the Clemens are common.
