Lowwater

A stilted settlement on the Reach's inland edge, built where the water level is shallow enough to walk but deep enough that dry ground is a memory. Lowwater's residents live entirely on platforms and move by punt boat. Drift Camp to the south provides fish; Salt Edge to the east provides salt for preservation. 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.
