Finnentide

Finnentide sprawls over broken piers, rebuilt shanties, and magical research outposts, forming a chaotic nest where old fishermen, hungry mages, and daring adventurers rub shoulders. Songs and shouts echo from weathered taverns, and every horizon brims with sails and glimmering danger. Rumors of eldritch creatures mix with the smell of fresh coin.

Tense, bustling, and wary; the scent of brine mixes with arcane residue.
