	''Few places provide refuge from the political tensions that emerge from governance, no matter the type of leadership. With cultures influencing their cities and town in their image, one would believe that the frontier only exists in the Landing or the savage lands encamped by orcs, trolls, and other cultures. However, far to the south lies an oasis, an escapist paradise where the terrain is rich and bountiful, the oceans vast yet volatile, and the surroundings wrapped in glorious mysteries. Kraken’s Fall remains a bedrock of adventure and mystery yet serves as home to one of the newest organizations devoted to preserving its safety, security, and sanctity.

	Being a seafaring adventurer familiar with the South (New Ta'Faendryl is not that far away), I took in the crisp night sky and the twinkling of stars as I sailed the South Blue. After a long and perilous journey, I arrived at Kraken's Fall, greeted by the scent of salty sea air and a symphony of busy dock work. The Collective awaited my arrival at the Wandering Eye Market and then escorted me to the Bean and Leaf, where their meetings occur.

	''After most visits, I would go on my merry way and head home on normal occasions. But the Fall is my home, and while I will not attempt to sway the world on the wondrous nature of Kraken's Fall through my biases, I will express that the family unit that is the Kraken Collective reflects togetherness. We went sailing after pirates shortly after, helping to keep the seas safe and secure for those interested in this happy harbor. I highly encourage the visit for those who have never been to the Fall. But more than that, I would express that for those who feel like strangers lost in a new world, and who crave the feeling of the unknown to find the Collective. They will make you feel at home.''
