'''Waterways''' is a blanket term for the various industries that rely on Myrkenwood's rivers, streams, and lakes. These include ''Fishing'', ''Shipping'', and ''Travel''. In Myrkenwood, there are four major rivers - the [[West Mavoiir]], the [[East Mavoiir]], the [[Posehabnak]], and the [[Sagpa]] - and three major lakes - [[Silver Lake]], [[Tewellyn Lake]], and part of the [[Mavoiir Lake]]. Due to this, Waterway work is always in demand, and much of Myrkenwood's shipping is done by river, with [[Myrkentown]] itself being situated partially on [[Silver Lake]].

'''Fishing'''
Anyone with the time, the inclination, and a line or trap may catch a fish or two for supper. Most of the major fishing industry lies at the lakes, with [[Shawburn]] at [[Tewellyn Lake]], [[Myrkentown]], and with sea fishes from [[Quagside]] sent down to [[Foggy Bottom]] to be pickled, packaged, and shipped. There are also various industrious individuals that fish all along the rivers and streams for rarer catches and roe. [[Foggy Bottom]], at spring and at fall, becomes an attraction with the running of sturgeon and salmon, with workers migrating upriver in order to have a chance to make some quick coin.

'''Shipping and Travel'''
With [[Myrkenwood]] Province itself being rather back-woods and poor, many of it's roads are nothing more than dirt trails, the upkeep of it falling to undermanned woodsmen, local families, or local guard-posts. Most of the roads are deeply rutted, and hopelessly muddy for much of the year. Myrkenwood's rivers and lakes provide an easier, smoother, and quicker way of shipping large amounts of good and people throughout the province. Entire towns have sprung up around this concept, little more than buildings and docks lining the river. In rough spots, teams of oxen and horses are kept to help haul the barges through the rapids. [[Myrkentown]] is at the nexus of such travel, with many of the goods meant for here or for [[Amasynia]].

*[[Ostmere]], [[Erlkynwold]], and [[Lindock]] lie along the [[West Mavoiir]] River, and are the major shipping towns from [[Myrkenwood]] into [[Amasynia]]. Erlkynwold, in particular, is a destination for many goods purchased or sold by the Elvenfolk, and is thus slightly bigger than her twins.
*Many more small settlements provide similar storage, hauling, and travel services up the [[Posehabnak]].

 [[Myrken Wood]]'s roads are of variable quality - while effort is made to keep main thoroughfares like the [[North Passage Down]] traversable, maintenance of secondary roads most often falls to those who rely upon these routes for their livelihoods - woodsmen, farmers, herders and the like. Many of these roads are thus  deeply rutted and often impassably muddy for part of the year. Fortunately [[Myrken Wood]]'s rivers and lakes provide a faster, more reliable and more comfortable means of transporting passengers and cargo throughout the province. Settlements along Myrken's waterways rely upon river traffic for a good part of their economy. Teams of horses and oxen (or sometimes even local youths) wait at outposts along most major waterways to haul vessels upstream for a fee. Meanwhile [[Myrkentown]]'s location on the shore of [[Silver Lake]] has established the it as the region's main interchange between road and river traffic.
