The Grey Coast is a broad, cold northern shoreline where fishing villages, trading harbors, marsh hamlets, and stormwatch stations cling to cliffs and sheltered bays. Sea trade keeps the region connected to distant lands, while underground wells make practical magic common and dangerous. Every spell leaves a scar on nearby stone, flesh, weather, memory, or soil. The coast's greatest mystery is a lighthouse flame that preserves warnings by stealing memories from those who approach.

Field Observations

Coastal roads become impassable during storm season.,Boats are faster than land travel but vulnerable to fog, reefs, and memory theft.,Underground wells can shorten journeys while damaging nearby terrain.

Cultures

Tidebound fisher clans value practical courage, communal labor, and remembrance of the dead.

Harbor settlers blend northern seafaring customs with merchant traditions from warmer waters.

Inland marsh communities preserve animist practices focused on wells, weather, and scarred land.

Stormwardens maintain disciplined watch traditions shaped by generations of disaster warnings.
