A compact port clinging to a jagged cove where wooden piers creak and sea fog settles into alleys; fishing boats lie idle more often than not because captains fear the headland, and visitors notice empty boats tied at docks with chairs still warm, as if their crews simply vanished into the mist.
Where the lanterns light the docks but not the truth.

A tidal pool gardens of edible seaweeds used by the temple for offerings.
Ship crews are being siphoned through a submerged breach beneath the Glasslight into an underground salt cavern where time and memory warp.
