## TL;DR

The Ground Docks are a seasonal trade entry point into Endspire’s Bottom Tier, forming a dual system with Portgate for low-cost access.

## Overview

The Ground Docks are a rough network of piers and loading zones that operate during seasonal river surges. They connect directly to [[portgate|Portgate]], forming one of the two official ground-level entry systems.

## Features

- Seasonal access only  
- Direct link to [[portgate|Portgate]]  
- Temporary settlements and trade camps  
- Minimal formal oversight  

## Cultural/Political Role

A lifeline for non-citizens and low-cost trade. Often chaotic, occasionally dangerous, but vital to the city’s lower-tier economy.
