Fifth Harbor is one of the main harbors in Ketterdam. Although the harbors are owned by the city, Kaz Brekker and the Dregs consider it their territory.
History[]
Fifth Harbor had been useless and essentially abandoned by the city until Kaz Brekker took it over. He had it dredged, then built out the docks and the quay. Now, the harbor offers berths to merchant ships and boats carrying tourists and sailors from all over the world.[1] Kaz also charges Pekka Rollins fees for access to Fifth Harbor.[2]
Six of Crows[]
The Black Tips regularly encroached on Fifth Harbor for a year. This leads to a parley between Tips lieutenant Geels and Dregs lieutenant Kaz, which ends in the Dregs' favor.[1]
Kaz and Muzzen meet Nina Zenik at Fifth Harbor at midnight before setting out to free Matthias Helvar.[3] Later, Kaz's crew for the Ice Court job departs from berth twenty-two in Fifth Harbor. It is the location of the battle between the Dregs, the Black Tips, and the Razorgulls, who Pekka Rollins hired to stop the Dregs from leaving Ketterdam.[4]
When the Crows return to the city, Kaz, Rotty, and Jesper Fahey row from the Ferolind to Fifth Harbor in a longboat.[5] Kaz later sells his shares in Fifth Harbor to Rollins in a negotiation.[6]
Crooked Kingdom[]
Matthias and Jesper bring a gondel down to one of the private berths at Fifth Harbor as a decoy, being as conspicuous as possible. Later that day, Rotty and Specht make a big show of launching it.[7]
Kaz purchases Fifth Harbor's berth twenty-two from Wylan Van Eck as a docking point for Inej Ghafa's warship, the Wraith. The Ravkan ship carrying Inej's parents also docks in Fifth Harbor.[8]
Trivia[]
- Fifth Harbor is where Kaz emerges after swimming back from the Reaper's Barge. It is possible this is why he sought to build it up.
