Rooms
Broken Causeway
A highway that walks straight into the sea. Waves slap the guardrails, and far ahead a skyline stands in the water like a forest of grey trees.
- Exits: west to Whispering Fen, east to The Floodgate
- Spawns: 2 × Tide Crab
The Floodgate
A great steel lock gate holds back the tide, groaning with every wave. Someone has painted TIDEWELL → on it in tar.

- Spawns: 1 × Tide Crab, 1 × Flood Eel
- Gathering: Floodgate machinery (level 28)
Tidewell
A town built on the roof of a parking garage, lashed together with rope bridges and salvage. Cook fires smoke under tarps, a cutting of the Mother Root grows in a rain barrel, and everyone here walks with their knees bent for the swell.

The Ferry Wreck
A ferry lies on its side across the avenue, half sunk, its hull a cave of rust. Divers say the crew never left.

What was once the grandest avenue in the city is now a canal between glass cliffs. Rowboats drift past shop signs.

The city's broadcast tower, still standing, still humming. Relays blink at the top. Things with too many legs climb its lattice.

A glass corridor between two towers, forty floors above the water. Half the panes are gone. The wind sings through the gaps.

Shelves forty feet tall, holding everything the old world wrote down. Ink runs from the books and pools on the floor, and the pools move.
