Seabright

Seabright is a tight-knit fishing village perched atop rugged cliffs overlooking a tempestuous sea. Weathered cottages cluster along winding paths toward the harbor, where colorful boats bob beside a busy dock. The scent of salted fish and pine fills the air as gilded sunsets crown the horizon. Beneath its tranquil surface, old legends of sea spirits and sunken treasures pulse through local tales and wary glances at foggy nights.
