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 to the broken Reach-Eleutheria transit relay lies Achlys, a haven for spice and tea trader. The shanty-markets are built on the edge of Achlean Marshes, which produce a poisonous mists that cause hallucination.

There are various tea blend that are being sold here. The most renown tea blend available in this port is the priceless Midnight's Favour, made in an ancent monastery by masked monks. Asking what the blend is to the trader would commonly be answered by "We are not worthy of Midnight's Favour"

Amberley Murgatroyd, from the Murgatroyd family, established Murgatroyd's Taste of Albion, a vendor that sells Murgatroyd brand tea blend. Unfortunately their tea pale in popularity to other blend, especially the Midnight's Favour. Regularly they attempt to attack the monastery to eliminate the Midnight's Favour, only stopped by the urchin gangs Valkyrie, which act as a constable of sort in Achlys.
