"Coppery lights away in the fog: the lamps of Achlys, a shanty-market for spices and vices.
"You cross the Achlean marshes. Don't trust the mists. They reveal things that are not there, and conceal things that are."
Near the broken Reach-Eleutheria transit relay lies Achlys, a haven for merchants of tea and spices. Its shanty-markets are built on the edge of the Achlean Marshes, which produce a poisonous, hallucinogenic mist.
The most famous tea blend available here is the priceless Midnight's Favour, made in a nearby ancient monastery by masked monks. What's in the blend? You won't get a straight answer; most traders will simply remark that they are not worthy of Midnight's Favour.
Amberley Murgatroyd, an individual of mysterious and indistinct gender from Old London's Murgatroyd family, has established a shop here - Murgatroyd's Taste of Albion. Unfortunately their tea pales in popularity to other blends, especially the likes of Midnight's Favour. They regularly attempt to attack the monastery to wipe out their competition, but are always stopped by the Valkyrie urchins (also a holdover from Old London), who act as a police force of sorts in Achlys.
