Seavine Cove

A small fishing village perched on craggy shores, Seavine Cove’s weather-beaten cottages huddle against relentless ocean winds. Its docks creak with fishing vessels and merchant boats, while a lighthouse on the northern point scans the mist. Islanders whisper prayers and superstitions to the sea god 'Koralis,' unaware one of their own manipulates the waters with an ancient crown, spurring unease amid crashing waves and sudden storms.
