Drift Camp

A floating settlement that moves with the slow currents of the Reach's interior waters. Drift Camp is never in the same place twice and communicates with Lowwater through a system of tethered message floats. Its people are salvagers who dive the submerged ruins for materials and artifacts. In the Drowned Reach, this site is one of the half-drowned settlements that rebuild themselves on stilts every generation around the Sunken City. The sea is steadily reclaiming the coast, and the Echo is the regional Fray-consequence that haunts the deeper channels. What the tide takes here, it usually takes for a reason — sometimes a Shard, sometimes a name, sometimes only the road that used to lead inland.
