The Glimmering Littoral is a vibrant stretch of coastline defined by turquoise waters and residual arcane energy. Magical currents flow through the salt spray, fueling a land where floating sea-glass is common and the seasons are mild. Numerous fishing villages and merchant ports dot the jagged cliffs while inland groves shimmer with spell-force. Life here is dictated by the rhythmic pulse of the Moon-Tide, which periodically reveals sunken ruins and ancient treasures.
