04 / The person behind the log

GOOD WITH A SPANNER.
STILL LEARNING THE WATER.

Ellis Ward is a fictional mechanic who knows every panel of his boat and very little about what the harbour will do next.

“The repair list gets shorter.
The story list keeps growing.”

Not every mark needs polishing away. The lure remembers the bench; the boat remembers several earlier jobs.

A CLEAR NOTE
BEFORE LAUNCH.

Can I use the workshop drawings to repair a boat?

No. They are illustrative story props, not measured plans or technical instructions.

Is this an official Big Bass website?

Zafirelmon is an independent fiction project inspired by fishing adventures. It has no official game-publisher affiliation.

What does saving a report do?

It adds the chapter identifier to a reading list in this browser. The list can be filtered on Stories or cleared from the footer.
