Seabreak Cove

Seabreak Cove is a small fishing village perched on a crescent bay, its wooden docks creaking under the weight of nets and barrels. Salt-stained cottages cluster along winding alleys, with sea-spray softening the rugged cliffs. Local fishermen haul in early mornings, while villagers gather nightly in the tavern to share stories and songs. Though isolated, the village feels tight-knit and watches the shifting tides for more than just fish.
