Salt Edge

A mineral-harvesting settlement on the eastern shore where the Reach's waters meet saline deposits. Salt Edge produces the preserving salt that keeps the Reach's scattered communities fed during the long wet seasons. It trades primarily with Lowwater and sends surplus overland toward New Harbor. 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.
