That region was a real popular trading port.
Was. Not anymore. It's weird, though. One city tastes like salt, the other disappears under water... Whatever that means.

The Southeastern Ports contains the Wasteland of Suola, and the Tides of Wasser.
This region was once a bustling hub of global trade, where people from all corners of the world gathered to exchange products and services, drawing in business owners and tourists alike. It was famed for its diversity, offering something new to discover and take home every day—items and experiences unlike any other. But that era of prosperity has long since faded. The once-thriving cities now lie buried beneath relentless salt storms and rising tides. While venturing into these places is still possible, one must be swift, for the salt and waters threaten to claim anyone who lingers too long. Caution is essential, as larger creatures are rumored to roam the area, and rumors persist of vines that drag people away into the unknown.
Once a thriving port town known for being the main exporter of salt and many other products, is now a desolate and surreal landscape. The area has transformed into a vast, desert with littered dune formations, where the tops of long-buried buildings barely peek through the surface, remnants of a powerful salt storm that buried the town beneath layers of crystalized minerals. Mutated cacti and salt-encrusted flora dominate the barren landscape, while the air is occasionally thick with salt storms, and at times, it even rains salt. Extreme heat scorches the land during the day, blinding eyes with the pallidity of the salt, while bitter cold grips it at night. Rumors persist of people crumble into salt if they remain too long. Despite its harsh environment, Suola offers valuable resources, such as salt and other spices, and buried goods from the town’s days as a major export hub, potentially holding treasures from far-off lands. But fret not, if one were to suffer the hunger and thirst brought upon this land, there are some...people who offer their help. It is questionable, however, why some of the Liberation's initial expeditions led to all officers never returning at all. This is the main reason why exploration of other regions, even those aside from this one, were unpursued by the Liberation from then on.

This coastal region, once a bustling resort town which offered a diverse amount of services never before seen, now lies half-sunken into the sea due to rising tides. The few remaining buildings that still stand are covered in seaweed and coral, giving them an eerie, underwater-like appearance. At low tide, the remnants of the town briefly emerge, revealing old structures that hold a wealth of forgotten resources. Important areas include the submerged parts of the town, which may house valuable goods from its past. Rumors persist, however, of vines that drag people into the depths no matter what, even at the risk of snagging their prey inbetween small places and the winding ruins. Despite the risks, the region holds research on oceanic creatures, offering crucial knowledge and resources for those who dare to explore its sunken ruins. Don't look too far, and don't look too deep. You might see a sight unforgettable. Or maybe a hand, or two, or three.
