Wick

Wick (Arruckian: Guique) is a town located on Arruck Hwell's north coast, directly south of Murrask Hwell. Wick is one of the four "Dorstle Towns," being the southeastern-most, and one of the biggest two, along with Seynd to the northwest, bypassing the smaller towns of Vyla and Helya. Located on a peninsula like all the Dorstle Towns, Wick has bays on both sides, with a seawall protecting the peninsula from historic naval raids.
Wick is a popular stopping point for land travelers from Fleurnsey to Bonn, which has contributed to its growth and maintained its larger size compared to Vyla and Helya. Wick's ports (Halfport to the east and Vyla Bay to the west) are frequently used by Murraskan merchants, artisans, business people, and travelers.
Wick has a fiber-making industry, which surprisingly brings in a lot of money to local artisans and twine-makers.
