Hunter's Keep

As you explore the areas local to Wolfstack Docks and London, you will come across the single house on Hunter's Keep, inhabited by three sisters Cynthia, Lucy and Phoebe and their shady maidservant. Once a certain event is triggered, the ever-welcoming Hunter's Keep will be permanently transformed to a dark and abandoned place, called Hunter's Keep in ruins.

So long as the sisters live in the house, you have the option to visit them or to do some small work for the The Admiralty Survey Office. Do mind that before doing a visit to Hunter's Keep you might want to check your current ship's Fuel as there is no shop available.

Port description
A quiet isle; a grand old house.

Overview
This port is useful in the early game to gain some items by lunching with the sisters. Choose one of the three sisters to lunch with and listen to her stories. This action will decrease -50 x Hunger and give you  +1 x Supplies. Lunching with Phoebe or Lucy decreases your Terror by 5 or 10 points, while lunching with Cynthia slightly increases  Terror. While only available a limited number of times, is otherwise the cheapest and the most convenient way to gain The Gods of the Zee: Salt's Attention,  The Gods of the Zee: Stone's Attention, and/or  The Gods of the Zee: Storm's Attention.

The original Hunter's Keep is only available while you have Acquaintance: Sojourning with the Sisters ≤ 19. After a number of lunches, based on your Acquaintance: Sojourning with the Sisters value, the  Hunter's Keep in darkness event becomes available. Each lunch increases this Quality by a random value between 1 and 5, so in the worst case you will have only three lunches before the event is triggered on the fourth visit. This event provides a single chance of saving The Scarred Sister, an easily missable Surgeon, and it may be worth delaying it until you have high  Veils and  Mirrors.

Officers
Following the Hunter's Keep storylet and being successful will lead you to recruit The Scarred Sister, who is, in fact, the younger sister Phoebe.

The Tireless Mechanic storylet also passes through here.

Location description
A hump of dark rock swathed in mist, like a hundred other Unterzee islands. But here's a grand house, windows aglow. Lawns, impossibly green and lush in the false-star light. Raked gravel paths.

You stand on the dock as the sea nudges the ship's sides. An unexpectedly warm breeze carries the faintest trace of lavender.

Location description
The lawns are weedy meadows walked by the wind. The gravel paths have sunk to mud. The house is a jumble of charred stones and timbers.

After you have Acquaintance: Sojourning with the Sisters ≥ 40, this will become the permanent port interaction.
