Coralwind

Coralwind stands on jagged cliffs overlooking the churning ocean, its whitewashed buildings topped with terracotta roofs. Fishing boats bob beside sprawling docks, while grand merchant ships load enchanted shells and rare spices. The city hums with sailors’ shouts, market cries, and the occasional eerie call of a sea creature skimming the surf. Shark-toothed statues guard the harbor entrance, reminding all of the ocean’s perils.
