• Location • [Gunvorton] Pete's Stables

Gunvorton used to be a rather nondescript and unimportant area in Scalvoris. However, it's logistical importance and tactical use became more and more evident following the shadow beast attacks of Vhalar 716 and, since then, Gunvorton has become much more influential and important to the residents of Scalvoris. It has several docks and piers, a few warehouses, two barracks and a stable. It is used primarily as a landing point for supplies which are then brought overland to the Tower and Scalvoris Proper via one of two roads found on the Island.

[Gunvorton] Pete's Stables

Pete's Stables
Image
The stables in Gunvorton are a relatively new addition to the place, but everyone is delighted to have them - Shania is very aware that Gunvorton is more cut off and isolated than she would like and the addition of the stables has opened a new avenue. Pete, the owner and proprietor of Pete's Stables is a serious chap who adores horses. He has introduced a breeding program and he is very keen that only the best services are available at Pete's Stables.

The building itself is a clean, well kept and generally organised. Horses can be hired here for travel across the island, or they can be stabled and cared for. There are a range of breeds available and Pete is also more than happy to provide lessons for people, either on equine care or riding lessons. Of course, all of this is dependent on Shania, and he knows it. So, he provides lessons for free for those who are residents here and charges for those who aren't. He's very keen to make sure that Gunvorton generally and Pete's Stables specifically do well and so, he toes the line, follows the rules and is, basically, very much a Gunvorton Kind Of Person!
