Merman’s Court, is the great hall of the New Castle in White Harbour, its walls, floor and ceiling were made of wooden planks notched cunningly together and decorated with all the creatures of the sea. The floor has painted crabs and clams and starfish, half-hidden amongst twisting black fronds of seaweed and the bones of drowned sailors. On the walls are pale sharks prowled painted blue-green depths, whilst eels and octopods slithered amongst rocks and sunken ships. Shoals of herring and great codfish swam between the tall arched windows. Behind the dais a kraken and grey leviathan were locked in battle beneath the painted waves.
