📜 Lore of the Hoard

The fishermen of Deepcurrent Bay tell stories of giant crabs lurking beneath the waves, guarded by ancient Blue Dragons. While most dismiss such tales as sailor’s exaggerations, the region’s crab harvest is famous throughout the realm. During the Summer Tide Festival, enormous platters of crab cakes are served beside the harbour while musicians perform sea shanties long into the night. Many visitors arrive for the celebrations and stay for the food. 🌊🐉
