Virelay Coastlands

The salt-wracked coastal region west of the Bellroot Vale, where towns cling to cliffs and cove-mouths along a fractal shoreline the maps cannot quite agree on. Virelay's identity is built on three things: the sea, the bells that warn of fog, and the Underwater Well — the ring of carved stone beneath the harbor that pulsed with the Third Shard of the Pattern until Auren Thorne dove for it. The coast hosts the only port culture in the Everloop, and its fishing fleets keep the inland regions fed. Trade with House Thorne built the inland villas; the Drowned City offshore, visible only at the lowest tides, is older than House Thorne by an order of magnitude no one is comfortable discussing. The Loosening is felt strongly here — sailors say the same harbor is never quite the same harbor twice.
