The Pale Orange is a casino and ship that ventures between the ports of the Kilche Sea. Owned and run by the bone croupier Pact Kino, the Pale Orange lures in gamblers particularly drawn to high stakes games; Kino delights in leading his patrons to up the ante in any way possible. Their luck subtly nudged by Kino's influence, many gamblers find they have quickly bet all they have and then some. Most games played on the Pale Orange revolve around dice in some way, but visitors with a preference for other types of gambling can find enough on board to suit their fancy.
The Pale Orange splits most of its time between Avaris, Pela Huban, Vothan, and the ports of the Blacksand Archipelago. The ship has been banned from docking in some ports - this does not deter Kino and his crew, as they simply drop anchor farther from land and ferry gamblers from shore on smaller rowboats.
