Seasway
Half a day's travel from teh outer reaches of eastern Newfaire lies the eerie village of Seasway. Here, tatters of old nets continuously wash up from fishing operations, catching on jagged rocks to create a spiderweb-like appearance all along the beach. This has given the shoreline its name, "the Threadbare Coast." The small homes and businesses here were once brightly painted, but are now grayed and worn, lining the paths between stony field and sandy shore. In this area, the wind off the sea is so strong that structures truly sway with the force -- and tehy are built with the flexibility to withstand such movement. A tourist might find the constant creaking of wood unsettling, but locals call it the "woodsong." Citizens of Seasway are known to exhibit a strong sense of community and resilience amidst modest economic circumstances, and while they tolerate tourists, the effort is begrudging.
Points of Interest
Everhollow Lighthouse: In the center of Seasway looms a decrepit central lighthouse. Much taller than any other structures dare to reach in the persistent winds, the tower is known to groan during violent storms. There is one person who maintains the building and its constant light, but the locals don't know they are a Lightkeeper of Candela Obscura.
Canny House: Both the village doctor and the local folk practitioner, Maeve Canny (she/her) represents the wider distrust of the Ascendancy within the area. Providing care to Seasway and the nearby smaller villages, Maeve holds an incredible amount of power, despite her age and lack of interest in "mucky politics."
Reverie Farm: A newly built wind farm stretching down the southern edge of Seasway, these turbines use the regions unique tidal winds to generate significant amounts of electricity for the city of Newfaire. When fighting ceased, this land was used as a burial ground for many of the unidentifiable bodies from The Last Great War.
