Dainse Haven
If one has come up into Cleigne via the southern routes, then Dainse may feel like a breath of fresh air. After all, many of the southern Havens all require a little bit of detour or legwork to get to, with Kellebram and Spelcray being the worst offenders of the list in their own way. Even Telghey, while situated quite comfortably at a parking spot and with a lovely view, requires one to go off the main road and drive down slightly into the dirt. Dainse returns to the general habit of Havens, which is to be in full view of the road for wayward travelers to spot.
Not only is the twisting show of smoke from Dainse visible from the roadside, but there is in fact a dirt path which leads straight to it. The opening is actually large enough for one to easily pull their vehicle off the road so that it is at no risk of being hit by anything untowards in the course of the night or come early morning, and then it is but a simple trek up the path.
Most will find it a fairly safe and short journey from roadside to Dainse. Still, that is no reason to dawdle. This particular region of Cleigne is host to one of the most notorious and fearsome of the sabertusk family: the havocfang. Many actually find this particular hound far more terrifying than any of its cousins. The reasons for this are no doubt numerous, and the truly curious are free to ask the locals of Old Lestallum all about them. All I will say is that their howls will pierce through even the thickest of headphones. The good news I can offer is that they are not often found near the Dainse footpath.
Still. Beasts such as that only need once.
Of course, havocfangs are not the only creatures which one should be wary of if they decides to venture off into the rest of the nearby little forests and hills which make up the area. The havocfangs, after all, are here to feast upon the spiracorns, and they are a creature which are just as dangerous in their own right considering their quick movements and temper. In other words, those with wandering feet will find themselves having to use those feet to deal with foes who are just as active.
Personally, I found all the trouble worth it for the plentiful and fresh amounts of both garlic and schier tumeric which grow in the area. Others may use Dainse as a fishing camp base before they travel over the Rachsia Bridge and the little fishing spot which lays alongside it. There, they will find the sort of fishing which comes only from a massive river with its waters running wild and free.
Onto the mealtime recommendation. The recipe I would most recommend here is actually one which I cannot speak too freely on, lest I incur the attention of a certain diner chain which would be highly displeased to hear that their coveted recipes may have slipped into the hands of the average diner. Yet I am a firm believer that delicious dishes deserve to have their recipes spread far and wide. While bound by the knowledge that I could get sued if I were just a little too wordy I will say this: garlic is the absolute key to cooking a perfect Wennath salmon fillet.
Now then. I'm sure that between you and I, we can surely keep this our own little secret, now, can't we...?

fishfearme: Man, the wennath river is sooooooooooooooo good for fishing no matter where you fish on it. sometimes it feels like salmon country all the way. i mean obviously wennath salmon is going to take the gold no matter what, it has some great fats in it according to a chef i know, just, super tier fish, great. but just like down over in maidenhead, there's nebula salmon swimming around here too, plus so many bluegill you can probably make a coat out of them. zipper barramundi are also here all the time, they're pretty cool. SO much meat you'll make a million sandwiches out of them. still, i mean, you're not going to reel in anything too bad i think, it's just that you should shoot for the wennath salmon as much as you can. like, deal with all the alstor bass, all the chipped bluegill, and go for it. seriously it's worth it. like double so if you're a cook or if you got a friend who's a cook. they're not joking about wennath salmon being tier a fish. the smell is really good when they're cooking but almost as good as the smell is probably the look on your friend's face as they get the fish all cooked and dressed up on the plate. like maybe its just because of the guy i know?? but when his face is all lit up by the fire as they dig in, it's just, really nice. idk anyway i got like a ton of wennath salmon in storage now. ★★★★★
chocobro: did that last line awaken smth in any1 else or just me? just me. k.
womenwantme: Anyone who's been keeping up with my comments on these things can probably guess my opinion on Dainse already. It's a Haven right there by the road where you're more likely to be woken up by early morning cars blaring their horns and screeching their wheels. Add onto that, with how close this place is to the Lestallum (old and new alike) with all their rails, well, it's frankly nonstop noise that I could do without. to its own credit, however, being right there at the Wennath river surrounding it on all sides means that the roar of water is ever-present, so it actually does a far better job of drowning out the sound of cars than a lot of other Havens might manage. I'd let that bump up a middling score just a little bit on its own. But... Man, I don't know. Maybe I've just been hanging around too many salmon lovers lately - those who love to fish 'em and those who love to eat 'em. I ended up having a pretty good time at this place, between the river spraying up along the dock while we reeled in fat salmon, and then when we returned back to Dainse, where they were then cooked up by a guy who tried not to look as excited as he really was. Company really can change everything about a camping trip. ★★★★✩
