Salt-and-Soil

Salt-and-Soil sits between the churning Grey Sea and the looming Whisperwood. To the north, fishing boats bob in a rocky bay; to the south, cattle graze on emerald slopes before the trees begin. A small, clear lake within the woods feeds the Silver River, which carves through the village. While the center thrives on trade, a cluster of dilapidated shacks known as The Lows houses those who live by sleight of hand.

Brackish and industrious, smelling of smoked fish and wet pine needles.
