Summary

Seaward is a circular, highly structured city with ring roads, a colosseum-like racing centre, Mage Judicators or Justicars, council politics, and a Stonemasons Guild. Its fresh-water supply became scarce while deputies were found drowned near the cliffs, and its nearby shield pylon flickered as the Barrier weakened. The investigation led below the quarry to Salinus’ Prison, whose leaking salt-dragon containment poisoned the land and linked Seaward’s civic crisis to the wider elemental-prison failures.
