 ===== Tulip =====
-Set on the delta side of the island, Tulip is a fishing and hunting village, working the wetlands and waterways of the delta. Foragers  collect Samphire, Romeritos and Purslane (their leaves can be cooked), Reeds for thatching and 'easy' game such as Duck, Mussels, Crab and Eels.

+There is little here, a shop, that acts as a Trade Post, a tannery, a few huts and a better built house for Scun Kanyr.
+//The Trade Post// is open to anyone who comes with peaceful intentions, and 'traders' from all over the delta area come here to trade.  Nothing is regular, but you will see Lizardfolk, Grippli, Kobolds, and even Bog Striders.  Orcs, Boggards and Goblins come to trade (under a peace banner) occasionally.
+//The Tannery// processes the skins that are brought in by traders or foragers.  The leather is then sent up to Croston for the leather workers' use.
-However, they are also a marketplace, and 'traders' from all over the delta area come here to trade.  Nothing is regular, but you will (occasionally) see Orcs, Kobolds, Lizardfolk and even the occasional boggard or Goblin with a bundle of stuff to trade at the shop.
 ===== Banmar =====
-The island's only inland village, composed of small holders leasing land from New Dawn. However, the rentals are low and most can make a half decent livinf.  As with many small holders, they supplement their icome by making and selling minor craft items -  everythimnh from hand carved dolls, through to simple furniture.  Primarily an agricultural village, they keep goats for milk/cheese, chickens for eggs and grow Peas, Beans and Onions in small fields, and mulberry bushes in small orchards.

+===== The Salt Pans =====
+This isn't really a settlement as no one lives here, workers travel out from Croston on a daily basis.  It consists of several shallow pools, where seawater is collected and then allowed to evaporate through heat from the sun.  Some pols are left to dry completely, and the dried salts are collected and used for preserving fish.  Concentrated seawater is collected from a couple of the pools, which might be used (sparingly) in cooking, or for producing brined fish.
