Alrighty! Took longer than I wanted it to but I pride myself in delivering eventually above all else. Here is the second POI in the gulf. Some rewrites have occurred, and keep in mind that some edits and even new featured locations can be added over time. The idea with this one is that getting a port up and running, although ultimately rather successful, wasn't altogether straighforward. Also, there's very much that idea that, the closer to the wilds a place is, the more strange things can occur.[hr] [indent][hider=▬Swift Breeze Harbor] [h3]▬Swift Breeze Harbor[sub]│A Very Welcoming Site│[/sub][/h3][hr] First impressions can go a long way in a budding relationship, and in the case of Swift Breeze, many a weary sailor have come to take no small amount of relief when they lay their eyes on Aurora's solid ground for the first time. The subsequent moments in their experience, however, are largely determined by when in the harbor's short history they find themselves in. It wasn't until relatively recently that regulations were put in place to set it mostly on par with other rest stops in the civilized world. But nowadays, so long as the sea satiates its terrible wrath elsewhere, you won't find a better place to ease the fatigue of a long voyage than here.[center]────────────────────[/center] [hider=○ Drift Fairy Docks] [h3]○ Drift Fairy Docks[sub]│High Water Reprieve│[/sub][/h3][hr] As just about any dockworker of respectable seniority can tell you, second time really is the charm when it comes to the harbor's most important development. And even then, the path to something resembling a safe haven from the worst the sea has to offer had been little more than trial and error until a handful of accomplished building teams finally arrived to work their magic. Nowadays, the docks can welcome all manner of seafaring craft, its calm waters sheltering just as well as its tireless longshoremon service them. Yet there persists whispers of another force looking out for sailors as of recently, one supposedly just under the surface.[center]────────────────────[/center] [/hider] [hider=○ Fog Water Wharf] [h3]○ Fog Water Wharf[sub]│Unsinkable Aspirations│[/sub][/h3][hr] Originally called Whirlpool Wharf, its completion was met with plenty of excitement on the part of the original Tidal villagers who stayed behind during the Sun Brigade's first trek. To most of their companions from overseas however, its slapdash construction was as trustworthy as its silver-tongued promoters. Fast forward to the modern day, and while businesses at the wharf share a measure of the nearby docks' continued success, its rickety piers have largely remained unchanged. All attempts to repair, renovate, or even demolish the structures being met with strange misfortune, leading many to believe them and their murky waters to be cursed.[center]────────────────────[/center] [/hider] [hider=○ Night-Eye Lighthouse] [h3]○ Night-Eye Lighthouse[sub]│Life Preserving Light│[/sub][/h3][hr] The venerable standard of almost all legitimate ports was one that, in this case, thankfully came under the purview of recognizable professionals, the establishment of which also lacking in confounding mishaps. Standing at a respectable thirty-four feet atop the commanding vantage of what would come to be named Chimecho Bluff, the lighthouse is not only operated by the most stalwart of keepers, but is also a towering platform for a remarkable piece of experimental technology, the very latest of its kind: a contraption that amplifies and directs the beam of a modified luminous orb! It's a breakthrough for safety [i]and[/i] science![center]────────────────────[/center] [/hider] [/hider][/indent] [hr]I may be moving on to the mountain range after this, likely Fort Harmony and what you can find in there. As you can imagine, the most notable and well known places are likely to come first, leaving a good deal of other places to be revealed over time. I'm also looking into the 'mons you're apt to find in each spot (like the lighthouse keeper for example). At this stage, it's hard to determine how much of a presence they'll have in the RP, but at the very least I can see a descent share of jobs/quests coming from them. I'll get back to you all when I can. Take care.
