Overview

History

The Coral Crown was built atop a jagged cliff after the Great Flood of the previous century. Local legends suggest the building is not anchored to the rock but is held in place by massive, hidden chains reaching deep into the sea floor.

Quirks

The tavern floor is always covered in a thin, cold mist that smells of brine and ancient ozone. Clocks inside the lounge frequently run backward or stop entirely during high tide.

What locals say
