Seabrine

Seabrine perches on jagged cliffs overlooking the restless sea, its timber houses weather-beaten and salt-stained, clustered around a small harbor. Fishing boats bob beside a rickety pier, while smoke puffs from peat fires. Sea gull cries mingle with the sharp clang of nets and the creak of ship timbers. Locals whisper of sea spirits and old curses, their lives bound to the capricious tides and the treasures they may conceal.
