West Hurn Sea

The West Hurn Sea is a large body of water that is known for riches in both fish and wildlife. The shores teem with marine life and in the summer food is plentiful.

However, in the winter the sea becomes quite turbulent and only the most skilled and experienced sailors dare sail the shores.

While the water is not particularly salty locals near Falken use evaporation and brine boiling to create natural salt with a distinct flavor.

It is not uncommon to hear someone say "Salty as a Falkener" when referring to someone who is a bit crusty. Politically or Physically.

Poetry
The West Hurn Sea

The Hurn is calm tonight.

The tide is high, and the moon is full.

Upon the straits; on the West Hurn coast; a light!

Alight! The burning beacon of Falken's Fishermen Return.

Gleams a mere hour and is gone; the cliffs of Falken stand,

Glimmering and vast, protecting the tranquil bay.

Come to the window, sweet is the night-air!

From the long line of spray, the lingering smoke of wood and smoked fish.

Where the sea meets the moon-blanched land,

Listen! One hears the icy shiver Of pebbles which the waves draw back, and fling,

A ship's return, pulled up on high sands,

Begin the fishing songs of days of yore,

The calm before the storm
