A temperate coastal region centered on a network of harbors and river mouths, where city-state politics, guild power, and frequent magic blend with daily commerce. Common tides and well-understood weather magics shape travel, fishing, and shipwright practice across 50 to 150 miles of coast and hinterland. Towns cluster where rivers meet the sea, and reclaimed marshes support market agriculture while guilds and arcane circles influence trade and navigation.
