Delvers

Delvers are small bottom-feeder fishes that can be found in almost every lake in the Sundered Empire. Although plentiful and greatly desired for their flesh, they are almost impossible to catch through conventional fishing methods; they are uncannily perceptive and will almost never bite a hook. Instead, fishermen must dive to the bottom of the lakes - typically armed with nothing more than a net and a spellcharm for air - to bring them up in massive hauls. The bile gland of the fish is also highly prized for black and ochre pigments, and delver fishermen can often be identified by the many black and yellow stains on their hands.

Delvers are caught from Diving Docks, after which they are sent to a Deepfishery to be turned into Meat and Dyes.
