The Ashfall Coast is a broad, stormy maritime region on the western edge of Mara's Scar. Its settlements cling to cliffs, marshes, coves, and river mouths, linking inland markets with dangerous sea routes. Merchant ports thrive beside wreckers' villages, naval yards, smugglers' tunnels, and isolated shrines. Common magic powers ships and defenses, but every spell scars nearby matter. During rare low tides, a drowned city rises and bargains with those who enter before sunset.

Field Observations

Coastal roads often vanish beneath high tides and mudslides.,Small boats are faster than roads but risk sudden magical weather scars.,Lighthouse beacons mark safe channels, though several have recently begun shining underwater.

Cultures

Storm-battered coastal folk value seamanship, mutual rescue, and practical superstition.

Merchant houses blend foreign customs with strict contracts and lavish public generosity.

Wreckers preserve old sea rites while claiming salvage as a sacred inheritance.
